Alchemy

Be careful of the alchemy
My dear one
There's love in here
And I can feel it in the prose
You and I have the deepest undertones

Hold on, don't stray
You cannot get away
Your heart is mine
Until the end of time
Your body's playing tricks on your mind
Your heart is lusting and I'm not blind to it

Lovely hold
Got you wrapped around my finger like a toy
It's magical oh-oh
How I got you wrapped around my finger little boy

I can see me in your bones
Got you spellbound
I'm in your soul
Be careful love cos I'm a drug
Intoxicating hypnotising you with love

Hold on, don't stray
You cannot get away
Your heart is mine
Until the end of time
Your body's playing tricks on your mind
Your heart is lusting and I'm not blind to it

Lovely hold
Got you wrapped around my finger like a toy
It's magical ohhh
How I got you wrapped around my finger little boy

Lovely hold
Got you wrapped around my finger like a toy
It's magical ohhh
How I got you wrapped around my finger little boy

Got you wrapped around my finger like a toy
How I got you wrapped around my finger little boy

Got you wrapped around my finger like a toy
It's magical oh-oh
How I got you wrapped around my finger little boy

I said I love you too
He said I love you
I said I'm scared to
He said show me
I said I'm hurting

And this flirting is skirting
Too close to the place
Where my longing is flailing
'Cos last time I spoke this he left me reeling
Running from the feeling

That the broken, and the bleeding
I needed healing, but not from you
I'm not asking you to save me
I'm asking you to hold me
And I'm letting you see me
Without my armour

When I've shed off my fame
And the expectations of my name
Where I'm vulnerable and lame
And I need you
I love you he said
I can't hear it in my head

'Cos I love you doesn't leave you
I've shown you my wounds
And all the ways that I've been used
And you bruised me
When you told me that we are through
I love you felt safe

I could take off my public face
'Cos I loved you
Promised to love me right through
But if I love you is scared
And I love you is not prepared
Don't speak words to me you can't stick to

He said I love you
I said I love you too
He said I love you
I said I'm scared to
He said show me
But you're not here to speak to
