I've got the fever, poison in my veins My mind ain't working right I know the answer, the way to ease this pain Only got myself to fight I can see clearly but choose to be blind A slave to desire Holding me, scolding me, changing your mind You're like playing with fire [Chorus] I need you I want to stay on this soul motin' ride There is no danger when you're here by my side Given some distance, just a little time Right and wrong seems clear But my sense of reason is nothing but unkind Every time that you're near Over and over I say to myself Ooh, she's only playing Ten thousand reasons to find someone else Still I hear myself saying [Chorus] I'm out here on the edge And I know what's in store It should be over and done, just let go and run But I've tasted too much Nothing's the same anymore [Chorus]
