Lyrics
Licking
Words and music by James Murphy © 2005
Verse 1
I really should have known, it?s been this way before.
You?ve taken every part of me, let me down again I see.
I?m licking wounds of yours and feeling like a whore
but what else are lovers for?
Verse 2
Now everything?s alright. Happy, why else would I smile?
You?ve taken every part of me, let me down again I see.
I?m licking wounds of yours and feeling like a whore, but what else are lovers for?
Chorus
Licking wounds of yours.
Here I am. Licking wounds of yours baby, baby.
Tell me everything is groove, tell me everything?s alright ?cause here I am.
Don?t you know that I surrendered everything to you a long, long time ago and now I?m licking wounds of yours. Baby, baby, here I am.
Say what you do, do what you say, say what you do, do what you say, ?cause here I am,
Licking wounds of yours.
