Burning Down One Side lyrics

Slipped through the window by the back door

Caught short in transit with my love

Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance

How could I fall without a shove?

Tip-toed like thunder on my feeling

You rock me gently with your sighs

My knees are weak; my head is reeling

Consumed by the fire in your eyes

Don'tcha know why?

Goodness no! Why?

Stepped in and shattered my defenses

Just playing hooky with my heart

Slipped through the window by the back door

And took the keys to my poor heart

Yes, my poor heart

Oh!

Try as I might

Try as I may

Yes. I'll try anything to make you stay

'Cause I need your love

Yes, I need you love

Yes, I need your love

Oh, I need you love

I'm looking high, I'm looking low

Can't find where did my baby go

Gotta find out why she ran away

I don't know, where did my baby stay?

Try as I might

Try as I may

I'll try anything to make you stay

Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour

Shot through the neon in the night

Hot foot through alleys check the door ways

Try that old parking lot on Ninth

There's three course kissing in the same place

Oh, but that don't help me out no more

I've been away so long and dreaming

Little girl, ain't I seen you before?

(Oh, little girl)
