Potential
Ludovico Technique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Want you to Want to do as I say
You've got potential
In all the right places
(I love it you know I love it)
with an eagerness to please
Your new position
Is as my possession
Close your eyes
And spread your morals wide
Beat and tied
Your senses numb
Your pride is gone
-and-
I'm the one
That's
Beat and tied
Your senses numb
Your pride is gone
-and-
I'm the one that
does this to you
those needs
-have-
peeled your inhibitions
(I love it you know I love it)
pleasure
In all degrading forms
Your pride
Broken like I own it
-now-
Make it yours
You filthy little whore
Beat and tied
Your senses numb
Your pride is gone
-and-
I'm the one
That's
Beat and tied
Your senses numb
Your pride is gone
-and-
I'm the one that
does this to you
Your eyes
Filling with submission
Your legs
Pointed to the sky
Your skin
Tighter as you open
-to-
A touch
You've needed all this
time
Beat and tied
Your senses numb
Your pride is gone
-and-
I'm the one
That's
Beat and tied
Your senses numb
Your pride is gone
-and-
I'm the one that
does this to you
