Lyrics for Desire Gets in the Way

Desire gets in the way You can't hide such an ugly trait I know it's not easy When everything you want's within in your reach But better the bed you know than the bed that you don't This fire burns incessantly I can't lie, I kind of like the pain I know you'll put it out You always put it out before it consumes me For you, I'll remain Chained to the bed we made But I get to choose your lingerie We'll lie here forever like condemned criminals on trial I'm down for whatever The uglier, the better
