Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I'm in the dark
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Leave me in the dark
I want to feel like a hostage
[Verse 2]
The night and the dark appreciate
The light and the heat we generate
My heart and my soul cooperate
I want you to be happy
[Verse 3]
Just want to give you myself to it
I'll come when you call me a little bitch
It gets me when you whisper it
I want you to be happy
[Verse 4]
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
When I'm in the dark
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Point it at my heart
[Verse 5]
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
[Verse 6]
The day and the night are separate
This ache for you starts to dominate
I'm finding it hard to concentrate
I want you to be happy
[Verse 7]
I wait for you like a prisoner
Whatever it is that moves in us
Is starting to feel a lot like love
I want you to be happy
[Verse 8]
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
When I'm in the dark
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Point it at my heart
[Verse 9]
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
[Verse 10]
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
Sometimes I feel like a hostage
[Verse 11]
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you, I want you
I want you to be happy
I want you to be happy
I want you to be hap-hap-happy
