Who do you think of? Does he look like me? Do you tell lies and say that it's forever? Do you think twice, or just touch and see? Ooh, babe Okay When you're alone, do you let go? Are you wild and willing, or is it just for show? Ooh, come on [Pre-Chorus] I don't want to touch you too much, baby 'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy I know you think that love is the way you make it So I don't want to be there when you decide to break it No [Chorus] Love bites, love bleeds It's bringing me to my knees Love lives, love dies It's no surprise Love begs, love pleads It's what I need [Verse 2] When I'm with you, are you somewhere else? Am I getting through or do you please yourself? When you wake up, will you walk out? It can't be love if you throw it about Ooh, babe [Pre-Chorus] I don't want to touch you too much, baby 'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy Oh [Chorus] Love bites, love bleeds It's bringing me to my knees Love lives, love dies It's no surprise Love begs, love pleads It's what I need [Instrumental Break] Oh, yeah [Pre-Chorus] I don't want to touch you too much, baby 'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy I know you think that love is the way you make it So I don't want to be there when you decide to break it No! [Chorus] Love bites, love bleeds It's bringing me to my knees Love lives, love dies Love bites, love bleeds It's bringing me to my knees Love lives, love dies It's no surprise Love begs, love pleads It's what I need [Outro] If you've got love in your sights Watch out Love bites Yes, it does Bloody hell
