And I say no, no more, I can't see you again
But I don't know if I mean it, I don't know if I
just pretend
I make up my mind, the feeling's dead
But who's fooling who inside my
head
And I know that I had the feeling that something's wrong
It's been out of my
control for much too long
I always seem to want to fall in love
With the iron hand inside
the velvet glove, but it feels so good
Chorus:
Oh woman, I need you - do you want
me to beg
I lost my pride long ago - and you know it
Oh woman, I love you - when you take
me to bed
My private beatings never show
Woman when you make love you close your
eyes
And I don't get any closer to the mystery
Oh woman, I need you - you must be the
one
Don't cut me free 'cause I can't be by myself
The voices say 'stand up', I wish
that I could
I feel the nail being driven in
But there's something about it that feels so
good
You're always the talk of the town
And the town won't shut up talking 'til the king
is crowned
And I know that I know you like it hard and tough
There's a lot of heat
and spark, but that's not enough
The actor wants to skip the final scene
Tho' the keys are
in the gateway machine I just can't go
chorus
(Solo)
And I know
that I get the feeling there's something wrong
It's been out of my control for much too
long
I always seem to want to fall in love
With the iron hand inside the velvet glove, but
it feels so good
chorus
Oh woman, I need you, I lost my pride long
ago
Woman, when you make love you close your eyes
Oh woman, I need you... oh woman, I love
you
