Love Without Greed
I can see a man well dressed and tanned
Collecting you in secret in a long sedan
I can hear you laugh at all his jokes
Taking everything that's offered until it chokes
And it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can't have love without greed
Without greed
He may get your kiss and believe that it's his
But you know baby I hit your heart where the others only missed
You can ease your heat in a penthouse suite
While I'm in a hotel with some hanger-on under those dirty sheets
And it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can't have love without greed
Love without greed would give me some hope
When I reach out in the night and grope
But there's nothing there but the next day coming in
And the alarm bell goes:
Ring ring ring ring ring
It goes ring ring ring ring ring
It goes ring ring ring ring ring
You can ease your heat in a penthouse suite
While I'm in a hotel with some hanger-on under those dirty sheets
You know it makes me want to get a lock and key
Hold you down in one place for me
Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can't have love without greed
Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can't have love without greed
Can't own the flesh and blood I need
Can't have love without greed
Can't have love without greed
