Mask of Smiles lyrics

Honey you do me wrong
But I'm still crazy about you
Stay away too long
When you know I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to
Hurt me more and more and more
But each hurt makes my love
Stronger than before
I know flowers grow from rain
But how can love
Grow from this pain
I want to know
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar baby

I spend my time
Thinkin' 'bout you constantly
It's true that I want you
You're the meaning of success to me
Cause anything you want
You can get from me
Don't try to work it out
Just let it be
Emotion has no price
And love is free
I've been going round in circles
You're always on my mind
I need you so bad
It's driving me out of my mind
Reflected in your eyes
Can't you see

You keep catching my eye
And we keep looking at each other
Is this what it feels like
To be someone's lover
There was never a time
And the clock didn't matter 'til now
And we could say that it's going well
It feels like Hell
Cause we walk and we talk
And we're just like the others
We touch and we move
Buried treasure discovered
And we've got no excuses at all

Oh yeah
It ain't the way that you look at me
No nor the way you talk
Could be a dark side coming out of me
But I just like that way that you walk
And I know what you've got is a thing for me
And I want that thing awful bad
Don't mess around
This is too intense
I'm getting hot on the spot
Tell me just to laydown
And stay down
For my love
Laydown
And stay down
For my love
Yeah

From your mothers' breast to the Vatican steps
It ain't such a long way down no
Absolution comes with the confession
But the priest still hangs around
And I don't want to lose myself
In some uniform
No I'm not gonna be reformed
Me oh my oh
Fire and ice
Jet black colours
I've got a lust for life
Over the mountains and across the sea
I'm still roaming free
From the centre stage

I can't take you to the movies
And I can't tell the real thing
From a fake
But I'm curled up tight
In your Chevrolet
And baby you got wow
You've got what it takes
You've got no brakes
I can't take you anywhere these days
Baby you're going wild
Your lips and nylons
Baby you've got what I think
I think it takes
You've got no taste
You've got what it takes
A gal with no brakes at all

I will be there for you
For you are mine
And I'll take care of you
Every single time
I'll be watching over you
When the world seems bitter cold
When you're closer to the edge
And you're feeling so alone
But do you still recognize
When you hear love's voice
I will come through for you
Every single time
And I will be there in your winter
To turn your water into wine

Sour milk in the saucer
And the cat won't come home
And sometimes New York City
Feels like burnin' Rome
I'm lost and I'm crazy
Too much time on my own
I'd give anything to find a heart
That can't be sold
Welcome to paradise
Here is my brave new world
And in my paradise
I'm waiting for a certain girl
Dead flowers in the darkness
Red rose wrapped in lace
Ice-cold vodka tears

You could be anywhere
But if you think of me
Know that you're on my mind
Got my soul in you hands
No matter what you do
I know it must be right
I'm a man of the world
And I've seen everything
And this time I see one I like
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
If you need me at all
