(Music by Richard Marx and Bruce Gaitsch

Lyrics by Richard Marx)



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



I need you

I want to stay on this soul motion 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

Everytime 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
