Before the Rain

It might be the way you move that keeps me up at night,
Or the outline of your silhouette when you step into the light.
Is it in the things you say or the message in your eyes?
The urgency you feel from me cannot be denied.
I wanted freedom, not some ball and chain,
But now I feel like giving in,
And I know what's to blame.
It's just desire burning up my heart.
I never want to let this feeling go.
It's just desire
That makes me want to love you
All night long.
I feel like there's a spell on me
That words just can't describe.
It hit me like a ton of bricks,
Right between the eyes.
I swore I'd never take the fall.
Now I'm hanging on the edge.
Could you be my destiny
Or something I'll regret?
This temptation just whets my appetite;
I ain't hungry for no lasting thing.
It's clear to me tonight.
It's just desire burning up my heart.
I never want to let this feeling go.
It's just desire
That makes me want to love you,
All night long.
All right.
Come on, baby, oh, whoa.
I don't know what possesses me,
But every time you're next to me
I just can't control myself.
When it comes to you I'm driven by desire.
I want my freedom, not some ball and chain,
But now I feel like giving in and I know what's to blame.

What are you crying for?
Don't you know that your falling tears
Are just a thin disguise?
Baby, I'm on to you,
Always pleading your innocence with those eyes.
Hanging by a thread
For your love to come around,
But now the ties are broken;
I'm crashing to the ground.
Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces.
It comes as no surprise, after all your lies.
I was a fool to believe in those empty tears you cried.
How long was it going on?
Could it be you were deceiving me right from the start?
I'll never forget the
Day I came back just to find you in someone
Else's arms.
I let the passion blind me when the truth was plain to see.
You made the chains that bind me, and I just can't break free.
Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces.
It comes as no surprise, after all your lies.
I was a fool to believe in those empty tears you cried.
Oh, can't you see our love's in bits and pieces?
A nightmare's coming true all because of you.
Now that the promise is broken there's nothing left to lose.
Little bits and pieces.
After all your lies.
I was a fool to believe you.
My heart's in bits and pieces.
Hanging by a thread for your love to come around,
But now the ties are broken.
I'm crashing to the ground.
Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces.
It comes as no surprise, after all your lies.
I was a fool to believe in those empty tears you cried.
Can't you see? My heart's in bits and pieces.
It comes as no surprise, after all your lies.
I was a fool to believe in those empty tears you cried.

Here she comes, just like an angel.
Seems like forever that she's been on my mind,
But nothing has changed;
She thinks I'm a waste of her time.
There she goes; she don't know what she's missing.
Can't she see I'll never give up the fight?
I'll do all I can till she understands my desire.
I'm on the outside lookin' in
Let me into your heart - oh,
There's nothing on Earth that
Should keep us apart.
I can't live without your love and affection.
I can't face another night on my own.
I'd give up my pride to save me from being alone,
'Cause I can't live without your love.
So I wait, here for an answer,
And wonder if tomorrow will be like yesterday.
I'll keep holding on,
But I can't go on living this way.
I've been on the outside looking in.
Bring these tears to an end - oh,
I realize there's no use for me to pretend.
Oh yeah,
I can't live without your love and affection.
I can't face another night on my own.
I'd give up my pride to save me from being alone,
'Cause I can't live without your love.
For your love... I'd put my arms around you.
For your love... and find the strength to tell you.
[Chorus]
I can't live without your love and affection.
I just can't go on this way anymore.
As hard as I try there's one thing that I know for sure:
I can't live without your love.
I can't live without your love.
