How Can I Ease the Pain
Lisa Fischer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All alone, on my knees I pray
For the strength to stay away
In and out, out and in you go
I feel your fire
Then I lose my self control

How can I ease the pain
When I know your coming back again
How can I ease the pain in my heart
How can I ease the pain

Everytime that I let you in
You take away something deep within
A fool for love is a fool for pain
But I refuse to love you again

If it's not love you've come here for
Tell me baby why you're here
knock knock knockin at my door
I can't take it
no more, no more, no more, no more baby
Give me all or nothing at all

I need to know how
How can I.... ease it
OO, how can I ease the pain
I need to know baby
OO, how can I ease the pain
I need to know how to ease it
How can I ease the pain

How Can I Ease the Pain
Song by Lisa Fischer


Lyrics

All alone, on my knees I pray
For the strength to stay away
In and out, out and in you go
I feel your fire
Then I lose my self control...

How can I ease the pain?
When I know your coming back again...
How can I ease the pain in my heart?
How can I ease the pain...?

Every time that I let you in
You take away something deep within...

A fool for love is a fool for pain
But I refuse to love you again

If it's not love you've come here for
Tell me baby why you're here
knock knock knockin at my door??

I can't take it
no more, no more, no more, no more baby
Give me all or nothing at all

I need to know how
How can I.... ease it?
OO, how can I ease the pain?
I need to know baby
OO, how can I ease the pain?
I need to know how to ease it
How can I ease the pain?
