For Wanting You — текст песни (Marianne Faithfull)

It comes as no surprise

Your face filled with lies

Hovers all around me in this room.



Clouds hung with my dismay

A hot bed where we lay

Your every kiss tasting like a tomb.



If time becomes a judge,

If my body holds a grudge

Its just because I needed sanctuary.



Your skin under my nails

My curiosity that failed

To save myself for something that I need.



I dont wanna bleed

Or bruise up black and blue.

Do I deserve these things

All for wanting you ?



Like some virgin with her cloth

I play the goddess coming through

Now I play the parting slave

All for wanting you.



We do things cause we must

The law of love and lust

Comes together just like oil on flame.



I looked into your eyes,

You saw me naked for a while,

How dyou like it in my little nest ?



Who was really using who ?

In here the scent of you

Stains the sheets with memory and lust.





When I get back on the street

Tell everybody that I meet

Maybe these arent scars, theyre only rust.



I dont wanna bleed

Or bruise up black and blue

Do I deserve these things

All for wanting you ?



Like some virgin with her cloth

I play the goddess coming through

Now I play the parting slave

All for wanting you.
