For Wanting You Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

It comes as no surprise 

Your face filled with lies 

Hovers all around me in this room. 

Clouds hung with my dismay 

A hot bed where we lay 

Your every kiss tasting like a tomb. 

If time becomes a judge, 

If my body holds a grudge 

It's just because I needed sanctuary. 

Your skin under my nails 

My curiosity that failed 

To save myself for something that I need. 

I don't wanna bleed 

Or bruise up black and blue. 

Do I deserve these things 

All for wanting you?

Like some virgin with her cloth 

I play the goddess coming through 

Now I play the parting slave 

All for wanting you. 

We do things 'cause we must 

The law of love and lust 

Comes together just like oil on flame. 

I looked into your eyes, 

You saw me naked for a while, 

How d'you like it in my little nest? 

Who was really using who? 

In here the scent of you 

Stains the sheets with memory and lust. 

When I get back on the street 

Tell everybody that I meet 

Maybe these aren't scars, they're only rust.

I don't wanna bleed 

Or bruise up black and blue 

Do I deserve these things 

All for wanting you? 

Like some virgin with her cloth 

I play the goddess coming through 

Now I play the parting slave 

All for wanting you.
