Golden Earring - When Love Turns to Pain lyrics

rate me

From the Album:

* Bloody buccaneers

She's got the touch of an angel

She's got hypnotizing eyes

No sign of badness

No evidence of lies

Sometimes it feels like I'm floating on cloud nine

Like changes in the weather

She flies on different feathers

Sometimes it feels like feels like I'm slowly dying

She's got the looks of a lady

But she's lethal like a knife

She performs to perfection

And brings you back to life

She puts magic in her power

She puts heat into your blood

But somehow I can't handle it

And wonder what to do

I can dream on forever

But I want a love that's true

But somehow she has a hold on me

With a grip so tight

And I recognize the feeling

And I know... and I know that's why

There's no remedy

When love turns to pain

And I know she's got me

And man, it hurts

But the pain is sweet

You can believe my words

And my mind goes blind

And I don't give a damn

Now you think I'm crazy

So what if I am?

Yesterday I stared into the dark horizon

Now I burned my skin to your fire

It's just the kind of light I desire

Baby I can cherish all your treasures now

Your love tells me how

She's got the looks of a lady

But she's lethal like a knife

She performs to perfection

And brings you back to life

She puts magic in her power

She puts heat into your blood

But somehow I can't handle it

And wonder what to do

I can dream on forever

But I want a love that's true

But somehow she has a hold on me

With a grip so tight

And I recognize the feeling

And I know... and I know that's why

There's no remedy

When love turns to pain
