Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We can fight our desires
Ooh
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Ooh
Whether we like it or not
[Verse 2]
They say we can love who we trust
Ooh
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
Ooh
What are feelings without emotions?
[Chorus]
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
[Verse 3]
I hang my hopes out on the line
Ooh
Will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long
Ooh
They'll be withered by the sun
[Verse 4]
Full stops and exclamation marks
Ooh
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Ooh
Can this bridge cross the ocean?
[Chorus]
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
[Bridge]
Let's go to war to make peace
Let's be cold to create heat
I hope in darkness we can see
And you're not blinded by the light from me
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Chorus]
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
