Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away
Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
Love is a danger of a different kind
To take you away and leave you far behind
And love, love, love is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it and you still can't get enough of the stuff
It's savage and it's cruel and it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood and it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal, it distorts and deranges
And it drenches you up and you're left like a zombie
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
It's guilt edged, glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature, false and unkind
It's hard and restrained and it's totally cool
It touches and it teases as you stumble in the debris
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
To tempt you in and drive you far away
Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
Love is a danger of a different kind
To take you away and leave you far behind
And love, love, love is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it and you still can't get enough of the stuff
It's savage and it's cruel and it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood and it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal, it distorts and deranges
And it drenches you up and you're left like a zombie
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
It's guilt edged, glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature, false and unkind
It's hard and restrained and it's totally cool
It touches and it teases as you stumble in the debris
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you so it's an obsession

The naked mole rat within Reverend Joel Osteen lurches from his slumber upon hearing of this troubling development. Competition for souls can turn ugly, but my money's on Lazarus. |
| Xeric (Montana) | Posted: May 18, 2013 - 13:25 There are a number of songs that make me want to turn it way up. There are far fewer that make me want to go out and radically upgrade the stereo--to some state-of-the-art monster--and then turn THAT to 11. This is one of those latter songs. Yes. |

She ultimately had her way with me. :) She squeezed your neck between her thighs? |

Then someone can say, "That's very original, Synthia," which is apropos for a Catholic, who is guilty of original sin. |

Ya, low imagination here. I like the synth but maybe you could play some "Switched On Bach" Bill? Please... |

It was on Sweet Dreams - the opening track on side A (ahhh the vinyl years  ).
Both this and Touch were superb albums so no worries  |
