[Verse 1]
I'm in bed, layin' down, naked
He's inside of me
I love him, kiss his mouth, prayin'
He can't see what I see
[Pre-Chorus]
When I close my eyes
You replace him
Wearin' no disguise
You erase him
[Chorus]
I wanna feel guilty
I wanna feel that it's wrong
I wanna know peace again
Wanna sing a different song
I want you to need me
I need to want somethin' more
He gives what he can
But now I don't know what he's givin' for
[Verse 2]
I'm in bed, layin' down, naked
You're inside of me
I love him, kiss his mouth, sayin'
"Oh, yeah, baby, touch, and touch, and touch, and touch me"
[Chorus]
I wanna feel guilty
I wanna feel that it's wrong
I wanna know peace again
Wanna sing a different song
I want you to need me (Need me)
I need to want somethin' more (Somethin' more)
He gives what he can
But now I don't know what he's givin' for
[Bridge]
Softer, harder, in-between
You know just how to get to me
He is stable, you are deep
I know just how to get what I need
[Outro]
I wanna feel guilty
I wanna feel that it's wrong
I wanna know peace again
Wanna be singin' a different song
It's only a question
If somebody brings it up
So I'm pushin' it down and prayin'
He won't see it when I come
I'm pushin' it down and prayin'
