Pleasure And Pain - Joey Tempest

I hate it when you wonder… so sensual and free

And I hate it when you’re psychic… With the things I cannot see

I hate it when you lead on… Like you know which way to go

And I hate it when you stumble… And you never touch the floor

A pathological liar… I am fallin' again

With a flood of desire… I walk the line

Between pleasure and pain

I hate it when you’re lyin'… So close to me at night

And I hate it when you whisper… Sweet words into my mouth

Yeah the woman be the reason… A woman be the light

A woman be the color… If faith would be my sight

I’m a man of contradiction… With a heart so restrained

So afraid of commitment… I walk the line

Between pleasure and pain

It may take one lifetime… Or it may take one day

For me to find the courage… Not to walk away

If this is all that matters… If this is all we know

If enlightment is our journey… It will never, ever let us go…

(Never let us go)

I hate it when you want me… Passion in your eyes

I struggle and I reason… «This couldn’t possibly be right.»

And I fight you with honor… And I fight you with fear

So afraid of what I would find out… If I were to let your heart come near

I believe in redemption… For a fool’s domain

And I ask for forgiveness… I walk the line

Between pleasure and pain…

Between pleasure and pain…

I walk the line…

Between pleasure and pain…
