Bittersweet
Freemasons; Sophie Ellis-Bextor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I deny this feeling?
Can't use the fuse that lights the spark
Don't think I'll hold out too much longer

The lines are blurred in the dividing
I deserve light, I desire dark
Your influence is getting stronger
Defined by mind, my body is too curious
So won't you show me all there is to know?

I know I shouldn't call
But something makes me crave the heat
Your love is bittersweet (so here I am)
The fire in your touch
I always find so hard to beat
Your love is bittersweet (so here I am)

No substitute for real pleasure
You feed the need that lies in me
I've lost all sense to this devotion

One touch and there's a rush of electricity
So won't you show me all there is to know?

I know I shouldn't call
But something makes me crave the heat
Your love is bittersweet (so here I am)
The fire in your touch
I always find so hard to beat
Your love is bittersweet (so here I am)

One touch and there's a rush of electricity




So won't you show me all there is to know?
Anytime you call my name
