Oingo Boingo

(Difford/Tilbrook) 



Tears for attention, heard all through the night  

What is it you want from me, the last seconds of the fight  

Kisses of corruption, tempt the spider from his web  

Caught between the white sheets that have fallen from your bed  

Heart for inspection, check the beat against the pain  

The fight that came to break us up puts us back together again  

Twitches of excitement give away my secret thoughts  

Love was a book at bedtime, now that book has learned to talk  



I get tears for attention  

Kisses of corruption  

With you  

When I'm with you  



Tears for attention dry upon a smiling face  

Apologies and promises bring love back together again  

Kisses of affection, lips that touch without a trace  

The idea of conception puts the smile back on my face  



I get tears for attention  

Kisses of affection  

And I do when I'm with you
