Lyrics[]
In her place one hundred candles burning
As salty sweat drips from her breast
Her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get... yeah
Yeah
Black lipstick stains her glass of red wine
I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?
Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're saying, praying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get... yeah
Yeah
I beg to serve, your wish is my law
Now close those eyes and let me love you to death
Shall I prove I mean what I'm saying?
Begging
I say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get.. yeah
Let me love you to...
Let me love you to death
To death
Let me love you to...
Let me love you to death
To death
Am I good enough for you?
Am I good enough for you?
Am I?
For you?
Am I?
For you?
Am I good enough
for you?
