Lyrics

Squeeze out my passion, take every last breath
Love me me to death
Use up your sweetness 'til there ain't nothing left
Love me to death
Ready and waiting, so show me your stuff
Give me the good times, I can't get enough
I got a tender heart to guide you
(Give yourself to me)
You know I yearn to be beside you
(Baby, can't you see)
This is a heavy night for lovin'
(Take me by the hand)
We can reach the promised land
Got to make it while we can
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Fire up your motors, put me in distress
Love me to death
Tune up your engine and jumbo your jet
Love me to death
Ready and waiting, so show me your stuff
Give me the good times, I can't get enough
I got a tender heart to guide you
(Give yourself to me)
You know I yearn to be beside you
(Baby, can't you see)
This is a heavy night for lovin'
(Take me by the hand)
We can reach the promised land
Got to make it while we can
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
And if a smile comes on my face
And I start to slip away
I'll be on my way to heaven in my mind
So just relax into the flow
It's the only way to go every time
(Love me to death, love me to death)
(Love me to death, love me to death)
Ready and waiting, so show me your stuff
Give me the good times, I can't get enough
I got a tender heart to guide you
(Give yourself to me)
You know I yearn to be beside you
(Baby, can't you see)
This is a heavy night for lovin'
(Take me by the hand)
We can reach the promised land
Got to make it while we can
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Baby, show me that you care for me
And murder me with loaded lovin'
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Won't you take me into fantasy
And show me you're a killer gunnin'
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Baby, show me that you care for me
And murder me with loaded lovin'
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Won't you take me into fantasy
And show me you're a killer gunnin'
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Baby, show me that you care for me
And murder me with loaded lovin'
Love me to death
(Kill me with your love)
Won't you take me into fantasy
And show me you're a killer gunnin'...
