marianne faithfull – for wanting you lyrics
it comes as no surprise
your face filled with lies
hovers all around me in this room.
clouds hung with my dismay
a hot bed where we lay
your every kiss tasting like a tomb.
if time becomes a judge,
if my body holds a grudge
it’s just because i needed sanctuary.
your skin under my nails
my curiosity that failed
to save myself for something that i need.
i don’t wanna bleed
or bruise up black and blue.
do i deserve these things
all for wanting you?
like some virgin with her cloth
i play the goddess coming through
now i play the parting slave
all for wanting you.
we do things ’cause we must
the law of love and l-st
comes together just like oil on flame.
i looked into your eyes,
you saw me naked for a while,
how d’you like it in my little nest?
who was really using who?
in here the scent of you
stains the sheets with memory and l-st.
when i get back on the street
tell everybody that i meet
maybe these aren’t scars, they’re only rust.
i don’t wanna bleed
or bruise up black and blue
do i deserve these things
all for wanting you?
like some virgin with her cloth
i play the goddess coming through
now i play the parting slave
all for wanting you.
