For Wanting You Lyrics & Tabs by Marianne Faithfull
For Wanting You
guitar chords lyrics
It comes as no surprise
Your face filled with lies
Hovers all around me in this room.
Clouds hung with my dismay
A hot bed where we lay
Your every kiss tasting like a tomb.
If time becomes a judge,
If my body holds a grudge
It's just because I needed sanctuary.
Your skin under my nails
My curiosity that failed
To save myself for something that I need.
I don't wanna bleed
Or bruise up black and blue.
Do I deserve these things
I don't wanna bleed
Or bruise up black and blue.
Do I deserve these things
All for wanting you?
Like some virgin with her cloth
I play the goddess coming through
Now I play the parting slave
All for wanting you.
We do things 'cause we must
The law of love and lust
Comes together just like oil on flame.
I looked into your eyes,
You saw me naked for a while,
How d'you like it in my little nest?
Who was really using who?
In here the scent of you
Stains the sheets with memory and lust.
When I get back on the street
Tell everybody that I meet
Maybe these aren't scars, they're only rust.
I don't wanna bleed
Or bruise up black and blue
Do I deserve these things
All for wanting you?
Like some virgin with her cloth
I play the goddess coming through
Now I play the parting slave
All for wanting you.
