Marianne Faithfull - For Wanting You 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 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.
