Lyrics
Who wants to love me? Who wants to love me?
Who wants to love me? I've got a lot of money.
Don't turn away from me, please, I need ya.
If you expose yourself, then I'll see ya.
Love's been away so long, I was languishing, oh, languishing
Throw me a way to get to your skin
Who wants to love me? Who'll be my honey?
Who wants to love me? I've got a lot of money.
Who wants to care less? Who'll ease my distress?
Who'll clean up my mess? Who wants to love me?
Come fill this hole in me, please, I need ya
Empty a bowl of me, I will feed ya
I've been alone so long, it was bloodying, oh, bloodying
You could come patch me up with your skin
Who wants to love me? Who'll be my honey?
Here's all my money. Maybe you'll love me.
Who wants to say yes? Who wants to cheat death?
Who'll make me confess? Who wants to love me?
