Lyrics
I always had my share of pain
Old emotions pouring like the rain
We came together face to face
Wrong time but the right place
It’s so unfair now you are there
Temptation’s on my mind
If I could only hear your voice
Had someone else to make the choice
Wherever there is pleasure there is pain
I’m tired of having feelings torn
From the end new times are born
But you have to lose to gain
I’m tired and weathered by the storm
But your open invitation seems so warm
Another sleepless night to face
Or a new beginning to embrace
It’s so unfair now you are there
Temptation’s on my mind
If I could only hear your voice
Had someone else to make the choice
Wherever there is pleasure there is pain
The only thing I know for sure
Is I can’t take this anymore
As long as I’m imprisoned by these chains
I’m tired of having feelings torn
From the end new times are born
But you have to lose to gain
Confused with no decisions made
If there’s something that I know
It’s what it’s like to be alone
I want to give myself completely
It’s so unfair now you are there
Temptation’s on my mind
If I could only hear your voice
Had someone else to make the choice
Wherever there is pleasure there is pain
I’m tired of having feelings torn
From the end new times are born
But you have to lose to gain
But you have to lose to gain
