Story Behind The Song
I was feeling guilty about wanting someone so much. an inner conflict. I was amazed by this person.
I found the repeated guitar phrase - almost hypnotic -
and I made a list of the effects this woman had on me - from joy to sorrow - and the song fell into place.
unforgettable chorus.

Lyrics
Of Course.
Words and Music by Tony Chapman. (Copyrighted).
Em
of course I want more from you, more than I want from other people
Of course I want more
Am Em
Is that (so) wrong? tell me {baby) is that so wrong?
G C G
You shine just like a candle in the darkness
A Cmj7 Em
Sometimes you shine just like the sun
Em
of course I want more from you, more than I want from other people
Of course I want more
Am Em
Is that (so) wrong? tell me {baby) is that so wrong?
G C G
You soothe me like a candle in the coldness
A Cmj7 Em
Sometimes you heal me like the sun
Em
of course I want more from you, more than I want from other people
Of course I want more
Am Em
Is that (so) wrong? tell me {baby) is that so wrong?
G C G
You hurt me like a candle in on my fingers
A Cmj7 Em
Sometimes you burn me like the sun
