Lyrics

Please Don't Lay Me In Your Bed
You smile -- forbidden fruit
You would be sweet if I could taste
Oh, I know I could outwit myself
But I'd lay my conscience in waste
Oh, you're such an enigma
You amble in -- it's like a dream
In your sight I feel my sense subside
My mind pursues a fatal theme
One little hug relates a thousand words
"Hello, I missed you -- I still feel the same"
Oh, you know I share your sentiments
But you don't share my guilt or shame

"I can't touch my lover so I can't touch you"
I keep repeating in my head
I can hug you -- hold you -- here in the light
But please don't lay me in your bed
Please don't lay me in your bed

The fire flies -- now I'm an insect
Drawn towards your subdued flame
If I followed this heated instinct
I would burn and take the blame
You bewitch me -- an enchanting mirage
The will-o'-the-wisp in my life
But I'm not blinded -- I should be fleeing
Instead I'm facing silent strife
You smile -- forbidden fruit
But sweetness can turn sour
I know I would abhor myself forever
If I surrendered -- even for an hour

"I can't touch my lover so I can't touch you"
I keep repeating in my head
I can hug you -- hold you -- here in the light
But please don't lay me in your bed
Please don't lay me in your bed

You smile -- forbidden fruit
But sweetness can turn sour
I know I would abhor myself forever
If I surrendered -- even for an hour

"I can't touch my lover so I can't touch you"
I keep repeating in my head
I can hug you -- hold you -- here in the light
But please don't lay me in your bed
Please don't lay me in your bed
Please don't lay me in your bed
