Lyrics
It's not the way you lead me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the way the person leads.
by the hand into the bedroom
Describing a specific instance of being led into the bedroom.
It's not the way you throw your clothes
Not satisfied with how the person casually discards clothes.
upon the bathroom floor
Highlighting a lack of consideration for cleanliness.
Been thinking about you
Indicating continuous thoughts about the person.
I just couldn't wait to see
Expressing anticipation and eagerness to see the person.
Fling my arms around you
Describing the excitement of embracing the person.
as we fall in ecstasy
Imagining a shared moment of intense pleasure.
Ooh sometimes - The truth is harder
Acknowledging the difficulty of facing the truth.
than the pain inside, yeh
Comparing truth to something harder than inner pain.
Ooh sometimes - It's the broken heart
Pointing out that a broken heart often determines outcomes.
that decides
Suggesting that emotional pain influences decisions.
It's not the way that you caress me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the manner of being caressed.
and toy with my affection
Noting manipulation of emotions without genuine affection.
It's not my sense of emptiness
Highlighting a sense of emptiness filled by the person's desire.
you fill with your desire
Emphasizing the influence of the person's desire on emptiness.
Climb in bed beside me
Inviting the person to share an intimate space.
We can lock the world outside
Suggesting the possibility of escaping the outside world.
Touch me and satisfy me
Expressing a desire for physical and emotional satisfaction.
Warm your body next to mine
Describing a desire for physical closeness.
