Tender

(album: Demon Flower - 1994)

Who's gonna save you from yourself tonight?
Who's gonna take you down?
Who's gonna tell you when the time is right?
When you're naked on the edge of town

Life is good… you get your thrill
You got that satisfied look in your eye
Well dial up your defences… keep a lid on your senses
You're living the perfect lie

Oh yeah, but tender is the touch of your hand
Tender is the look in your eye
Oh won't you come on over to my way of thinking
Now you're making me wonder why

Our friends are coming over for a feast of joy
If you mention me don't talk too loud
A simple conversation you can search and destroy
Don't let 'em guess I've been on your cloud

Seduction… don't let me down
I'll take you somewhere… out of this town
Weave a little magic… put yourself in my shoes
Try to imagine you got nothing to lose

Oh yeah, but tender is the touch of your hand
Tender is the look in your eye
Oh won't you come on over to my way of thinking
Now you're making me wonder why

You're still in control but you're digging a hole
You been watching yourself too long
You think you're okay but you're yawning all day
Can't you tell there's something wrong?

Oh your best fiends won't tell you but everybody knows
You think you got it covered… so where are your clothes?
Your fortress is shattered… you're falling apart
Someone must have broken in and stolen your heart

Oh yeah, but tender is the touch of your hand
Tender is the look in your eye
You're coming over to my way of thinking
Girl you're making me wonder why

It's such a revelation waiting for love
It's alright yeah enough is enough
Why don't you let it happen? You know what I mean
It'll kill you if you don't come clean yeah

Tender is the touch of your hand
Tender is the look in your eye
You're coming over to my way of thinking
Girl you're making me wonder why
