If you give a dog a bone, he will follow you home and wait for you
Until he's bored of you
If you call my telephone and leave a note at the tone, I won't ignore you
Been waiting for you
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
We're in a dimly lit restaurant on the Lower East Side, and you look gorgeous
Yeah, I adore you
You're the only one I want, and I am one of your pawns
You look around the room to see who looks at you
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
Loving you isn't hard
It's letting go that leaves a scar
Do you feel me too in your heart
Or only when I touch your parts?
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
