Lyrics
PASSION
Words and music, by Winston Apple
I say "I love you," but you know I don't mean it
I'm a little nervous, I need something to say
We could share our feelings with one another
If all of these words would get out of our way
You say you don't need to hear
Any sweet romanti© lies
I won't lie to you
Honey, I'm just trying to make it through the night
If you wanna know the truth
We both know this is probably not the real thing
But there's an aching in our hearts
And we're looking for some way to kill the pain
So in the heat of the moment
In the heat of the night
We give in to the passion
And we do what we need to do
To survive
It's not a criminal matter
No, it's not a capital crime
It doesn't matter if we get caught in the act
We both know we're already doing time
And I don't wanna be alone
I've been alone too many nights
You don't wanna be alone
You've been lonely too long
So in the heat of the moment...
