Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I often watch you the way you whore yourself, you're so beautiful
You flirt, tease, enviously I wish you'd flirt with me
Perhaps I'm enticed by what you are
I imagine us jumpin' the broom, it's foolish, I know
[Verse 2]
'Cause that's not the life you live
You live alone in a crowded bed
Never remembering faces, conversations
Just the body for the lonely
[Verse 3]
Spend one night with me, satisfy me for free
I'll love you endlessly
Yourself and that you give them what they want
So give me what I want
[Verse 4]
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one
[Verse 5]
Just give me what I want
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one, baby
[Verse 6]
In a harlot's dress you wear the smile fo a child
With the faith of Mary Magdalene
Yet you wash the feet of unworthy men
Come and I'll set you free
[Verse 7]
Into an endless valley of fruits both sweet and sour
And whatever displeases your palate
My kisses will wash away, stay
If you must dance, dance for me
[Verse 8]
So blessed are the pure at heart for they shall see God
So close your eyes and dream
For the world will blind you and I'll judge not
So that I may not be judged, give me what I want
[Verse 9]
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one, the only one
[Verse 10]
Yes, babe
Tell me
[Verse 11]
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
(Satisfy me for free) I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one, give me
(Satisfy me for free) Tell me
[Verse 12]
Tell me I'm the only one
(Satisfy me for free) (Satisfy me for free) Tell me
Tell me I'm the only one
Just close your eyes and dream
Close your eyes
[Verse 13]
The only one
So blessed are the pure at heart
(Satisfy me for free) Close your eyes
Tell me I'm the only one
(Satisfy me fro free)
