Lyrics
[Intro]
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
I would lock you up
But I could not bear to hear you scream to be set free
I would chain you up if I'd thought you swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up, but don't worry, baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to
It's too late to stop, won't the heavens save me?
My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you
[Chorus]
You take me to the edge of heaven, tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven, one last time might be forever
When the passion dies
It's just a matter of time before my heart is looking for a home
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
I'm like a maniac at the end of the day
I'm like a doggie barking at your door
So come and take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do it once more
I'm dangerous, don't worry, baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place for us in a dirty movie
'Cause no one does it better than me and you
[Chorus]
Take me to the edge of heaven, tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven, one last time might be forever
Please don't tell me lies
It's just a matter of time before my heart is looking for a home
[Verse 4]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
I ain't got no more worries, I'm gonna spend some time with you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it
[Verse 5]
Uh
I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it
Filthy
[Chorus]
Take me to the edge of heaven, tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven, one last time might be forever
Don't you tell me lies
Because believe me, baby, one day you'll wake up on your own
[Verse 6]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
I ain't got no more worries, I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage, everyone's got their eye on you
I ain't got no more worries, I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it
