The walls of this hotel are paper-thin
|
Last night I heard you making love to him
|
The struggle mouth to mouth and limb to limb
|
The grunt of unity when he came in
|
|
I stood there with my ear against the wall
|
I was not seized by jealousy at all
|
In fact a burden lifted from my soul
|
I heard that love was out of my control
|
A heavy burden lifted from my soul
|
I heard that love was out of my control
|
|
I listened to your kisses at the door
|
I never heard the world so clear before
|
You ran your bath and you began to sing
|
I felt so good I couldn't feel a thing
|
|
I stood there with my ear against the wall ...
|
|
And I can't wait to tell you to your face
|
And I can't wait for you to take my place
|
You are The Naked Angel In My Heart
|
You are The Woman With Her Legs Apart
|
It's written on the walls of this hotel
|
You go to heaven once you've been to hell
|
|
A heavy burden lifted from my soul
|
I heard that love was out of my control
|
