How Can I Ease the Pain
Lisa Fischer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
