Burning Down One Side

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Slipped through the window by the back door Caught short in transit with my love Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance How could I fall without a shove? [Verse 2] Tip-toed like thunder on my feeling You rock me gently with your sighs My knees are weak, my head is reeling Consumed by the fire in your eyes [Interlude] Don'tcha know why? Goodness no! [Verse 3] Stepped in and shattered my defenses Just playing hooky with my heart Slipped through the window by the back door And took the keys to my poor heart Yes, my poor heart [Chorus] Oh! Try as I might, try as I may Yes, I'll try anything to make you stay 'Cause I need your love Yes, I need you, oh Yes, I need your love Oh, I need you, oh [Bridge] I'm looking high, I'm looking low Can't find, where did my baby go Gotta find out why she ran away I don't know, where did my baby stay? [Chorus] Try as I might, try as I may Well I'll try anything to just make you stay [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour Shoot through the neon in the night Hotfoot through alleys, check the doorways Try that old parking lot on Ninth There's three-course kissing in the same place Oh, but that don't help me out no more I've been away so long, I'm dreaming Little girl, ain't I seen you before? Oh, little girl [Instrumental Outro]
