Nightsong
Skin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah!
I never thought there was a kind of love that could make me sell my soul
But I can't help myself when you get so close
Whenever you lay your hands on me, it makes me want you more
The feeling in your touch is what I hunger for, yeah
So good, so bad, I gave it everything I had
Way down inside, I'm gonna make you mine
Let me slide in, I need a little skin on skin
I'll make you see, you're everything to me

[Chorus]
When you need love and you're cold inside
You reach out for me with the fire in your eyes
When your heart cries out with a burning desire
You're the angel I need, you're the devil inside
Oh-oh

I see you [bash in] in the heat of the night, the fever gets too much
I feel our bodies move to the rhythm of love
So good, so bad, your love's about to drive me mad
One more last time, my heart is on the line
So rough, so smooth, can't wait to get my hands on you
Just wait and see, you're everything to me

[Chorus]

Ooh yeah, you bring out the devil in me

[Chorus]





Got the devil inside
