Fear & Delight ~ The Correspondents

Oh, but I know you'll cause me grief
Close friends of mine are in disbelief
As they can see what's underneath
Fluttering lashes, red lips, and pearly white teeth

I don't show it, but I quiver whenever you come near
And I cannot decipher between the thrill and the fear
I want to stop, but I like it too much to let it stop here
It's wrong, but I want you tonight
It was not my own volition, but I fell in deep
By running the distance I'd been advised to keep
I trot to the wolf as a doting sheep
It's wrong, but I want you tonight

Fear and delight all the way through the night
With a little derring-do, I'll fall in love with you
Fear and delight all the way through the night
With a little derring-do, I'll fall in love with you

I'm a little boy who's going to be getting his fingers burnt
But I can see the lesson's gotta, gotta, gotta be learnt
They say that boys have been destroyed, but they weren't
It's wrong, but I want you tonight
In any case, my friends, it's too late
Like a moth to light, like a beast to bait
And I know the black widow eats its mate
It's wrong but I want you tonight

Fear and delight all the way through the night
With a little derring-do, I'll fall in love with you
Fear and delight all the way through the night
With a little derring-do, I'll fall in love with you

I'm an innocent being seduced by your charms
I'm a young boy tickled to death in your arms
Your kisses taste like bitter almonds
It's wrong but I want you tonight
You're an addiction pulling me to a grave end
You're an enemy who I'm keen to defend
Down the black hole of my lust I descend

It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's wrong but I want you tonight
