Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter how much you care
So you think that you have seen me
But you never touch my truth
Somebody's got the keys to everywhere for just a while
Playing with a stranger throw away the time
Blue temptation is calling you
Don't you go away, it's alright I'll give you anything,
Just keep on paying for your love
Oh, you're a slave to the night, breathe in the dark
I know where I would like to be
Don't you go away, it's alright I'll give you anything
And I can bury all my tears in the white sand
(Slave to the night) I'll give you, baby, baby
(Wait for your time) anything you want
(Slave to the night) ooh, you've never seen me before
Yes, I'm s slave to the night, a child of the moon
Blue temptation is calling you
Don't you go away, it's alright I'll give you anything
Just keep on paying for your love
Oh, you're a slave to the night, breathe in the dark
I know where I would like to be
Don't you go away, it's alright I'll give you anything
And I can bury all my tears, yeah
Just keep on paying wherever you go
Come and take my hands, my baby
