When you want me, baby, all you've gotta do is call my name You know I've got no control, I've got no pride, I've got no shame I'm just like a little girl—you know I'll give you everything I don't even care what kind of mess, or what disgrace it brings Because
I'm so sweet on you I'm so sweet on you I'm so sweet on you, I'm sick
I'm courting disaster, every time I look into your eyes I've been falling, falling, so long now the bottom comes as no surprise Baby, please, just take me—I don't want to be in charge of this You can make it disappear, incinerate me with your kiss Because
CHORUS
I'll do anything you want, just never take your love away Offer me a promise of tomorrow, and I'll give up today
In the morning, I am groping silently through empty space I'll keep my eyes closed a little longer, just to see your face Cause I know that I'm dirty, that I reek with my desire for you But to stop your ever leaving, there is nothing, baby, I won't do Because
I'm so sweet on you I'm so sweet on you I'm so sweet on you, I— I'm sick
You—you look good to me Even though there are days and weeks and months sometimes when I can barely see Because I—I have been so scared That it's taken me awhile now just to notice that most of the damage has been repaired But if I don't need to be Spending my time terrified and paralyzed, well then maybe we can find out
How much noise can one girl make? How much noise can this girl? How much joy can one girl take—I mean, how much joy can I? I just want to stay awake and open unto this world, I mean— How much noise, how much noise can I?
I've set a new goal Gonna figure out just what it really means to let go of control Because I have been so scared I've had this total bullshit, persistent fantasy that it's possible to be prepared
How much noise can one girl make? How much noise can this girl? How much joy can one girl take—I mean, how much joy can I? I just want to stay awake and open unto this world, I mean— How much noise, how much noise can I?
So now you can watch me take the leap And anything that I'm still holding onto when I land, well, I guess that's mine to keep—to find out
How much noise can one girl make? How much noise can this girl? How much joy can one girl take—I mean, how much joy can I? I just want to stay awake and open unto this world, I mean— How much noise, how much noise can I?
You're like a moth to a flame And I'm like a moth to a moth to a flame You keep beating down, down, down And I'm pulled along in your wake I've been hanging around, I'm hanging around Like it isn't my heart that's at stake
I've burned for you hard all these years Trying to shine bright enough to distract you But I can't lick that flame And baby, you can't lick that flame So while it may not be for lack of wanting to I see that you can't love me back
Oh, I want to disappear into your heat-soaked skin And I know you know The kind of pleasure-coated pain I'm in Cause you're like a moth to a flame And I'm like a moth to a moth to a flame
You'll just keep beating down, down, down Cause you don't know how else to survive But I am turning around, I'm turning around now Cause I can't watch you burning alive anymore
You'll just keep beating down, down, down Til you find a new way to survive But I am turning around, I'm turning around And I'm flying like hell for open sky
