If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of? Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies and say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch and see?
Ooh, babe
Oh, yeah
When you are alone, do you let go?
Are you wild and willin', or is it just for show?
Ooh, come on
I don't wanna touch you too much, baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it, no
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringing me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need
When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' through, or do you please yourself?
When you wake up, will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh, babe
I don't wanna touch you too much, baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringing me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need
Oh, yeah
I don't wanna touch you too much, baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it, no
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringing me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need
If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
Yes, it does
It will be hell
