Dr. Sin Lyrics

Close
Did I get under you skin? / More than once, where would you begin? / I can tell when you smile / The thoughts you're concealing and what you won't say / I say we're both afraid / As far as I can tell we're both in this hell / It's in both of our eyes / Kicking and screaming, yelling to get out / I got a sick feeling / You do too my dear / I think we know that something's wrong / And I'm sick of being the one to cause you fear / Should I be moving along? / Did I get under your skin? / Once thick, ice appears to be thin / Why can't you crack a smile? / The ice breaking, pass it off a style
