Lyrics

Love in a World of Pain


You say I don?t want you: well, I?ve heard it before,
You say that I?ll change you?but you won?t open the door,
And I won?t be there for you when you miss the train,
Leave you lost in a world of pain.

You say that I?ll hurt you if I bring it along,
And one day I?ll desert you, write you up in a song?
So sad eyes listens to you as you pull his chain,
Leave him lost in a world of pain.

Give me a break: I don?t have the time
To play with your heart,
To play with your mind?
Woman, I just want to love you.

I don?t want an invention, I don?t want a slave,
It?s not my intention to drive you to your grave,
I just want a woman at one with the driving rain
In control of the world of pain.

So do it in style, but do it with heart,
Give in to the trial
But don?t play a part?
Because . . . I don?t want no actress.

I?ll give you your freedom, and I?ll give you more,
I?ll take you the back way, and I?ll take you before,
Yes, it?s all mirrors and smoke but it keeps me sane,
Taking love in a world of pain,
Giving love in a world of pain,
Taking love in a world of pain.
