Torture

 

TORTURE

Written and Composed by Jackie Jackson & Kathy Wakefield

 

 

It was on a street so evil

So bad that even hell disowned it

Every single step was trouble

For the fool who stumbled on it

Eyes within the dark were watchin\'

I felt the sudden chill of danger

Something told me keep on walkin\'

Told me I should not have gone there

 

Baby, ’cause you cut me like a knife

Without your love in my life

Alone I walk in the night

’Cause I just can\'t stop this feeling

It\'s torture

It\'s torture

It\'s torture

 

She was up a stair to nowhere

A room forever I\'ll remember

She stared as though I should have known her

Tell me what\'s your pain or pleasure

Every little thing you find here

Is simply for the thrill you\'re after

Loneliness or hearts on fire

I am here to serve all masters

 

She said, ’Reality is a knife

When there\'s no love in your life

Unmerciful is the night

When you just can\'t stop this feeling’

It\'s torture

It\'s torture

It\'s torture

 

And I still can\'t find the meaning, no

No, no, of the face I keep on seeing

Was she real or am I dreaming

Did the sound of your name

Turn a wheel

Start a flame in me

 

Baby, ’cause you cut me like a knife

Without your love in my life

Alone I walk in the night

And I just can\'t stop this feeling

It\'s torture

It\'s torture

It\'s torture
