When Love Turns To Pain

(album: Bloody Buccaneers - 1991)

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
