[Lyric] Burning Down the House of Love (Code Blue)

So I heard you made the great escape
Yeah, you slipped right through
Well, you didn't say goodbye
Didn't expect you to

A pocketful of miracles
Was all you left behind
Oh, when you play with matches, honey
They can be so unkind

They set a fire in the house of love
That much is true
And when they asked me what I knew about it
All I could think
Was, baby, you, you, you, you, you, you

So now I get up in the morning
And I paint the town blue (Without you)
Yeah, I'm restless for your loving
Like a cat on a hot tin roof
You touched mе with your love
Touched me with your lovе
Where it hurts (Make it hurt)
I believed you, baby, when you said
It could be so much worse

There was a fire in the house of love
That much they know
When I asked you what you did last night
All you said was, honey
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I wish I had you back
Wish I had you back again today
Yeah, I wish I had you back
No matter what I have to pay

Well, they named a street corner after you
They call it "Desire"
Now you can always find me there
Asking everybody why, why, why, why, why, why
