laying me low

Singer: cook, david

i remember when you lit my flame

a bit of passion with a pinch of pain

you left me praying for a single drop of rain

oh

but now the fire's burning out of control

because i'm never gonna let you go

so bring the gasoline and we can start the show

oh

you got under my skin and i can't begin

to think of all the trouble you keep getting me in

so i'll just hold on and try to be strong

but i fall apart when i'm with you

i cry when i kiss you

i know you're really no good

you got my heart in your hand

oh

i'll never understand and it shows

you get me high but you're laying me low

oh

oh. oh

oh

well i remember every broken line

i'm just a victim of the perfect crime

you keep running while i keep on doing time

oh

so give me something just to keep me sane

i only wanna hear you say my name

and now i know i'm never gonna win this game

but i'll play anyway

you got under my skin and i can't begin

to think of all the trouble you keep getting me in

so i'll just hold on and try to be strong

but i fall apart when i'm with you

i cry when i kiss you

i know you're really no good

you got my heart in your hand

oh

i'll never understand and it shows

you get me high but you're laying me low

oh

and i fall apart when i'm with you

i cry when i kiss you

i know you're really no good

you got my heart in your hand

you get me high but you're laying me low
