I knew the risks when I began
I knew about her, your lady...
but I'll take you any way I can
and love you, God...like crazy

I'm just the icing on your cake,
a single moment's pleasure
a deep and hungry ache
when I want to be your answer

knew I'd be the one, to come undone
it hurts so good, this pain
its like dying with a smile
in a last long sweet refrain

we'll never move past this...
this other world in which we meet
furtive calls and secret bliss
and a silence so complete

I build up each sweet memory,
and hold them oh so tight
each one a heartache's trophy
you can't hold up to the light

knew I'd be the one, to come undone
it hurts so good, this pain
its like dying with a smile
in a last long sweet refrain

and it'd be so damn easy
if I had someone, like you
to keep my heart so busy
when you do what you need to do

but when you're away with her
my heart is put on hold
and nothing seems to matter
my need can't be controlled

knew I'd be the one, to come undone
it hurts so good, this pain
its like dying with a smile
in a last long sweet refrain

there's no changin' the situation
no rewriting of history
I'll live with this frustration
your love a sad mystery

'cuz I know the day will come
when you walk that road away
and I'll be passion's victim
with sweet love gone astray

knew I'd be the one, to come undone
it hurts so good, this pain
its like dying with a smile
in a last long sweet refrain

so I'll be the one, to come undone
loving this exquisite pain
lost in heartache's exile
wishing you'd love me once again...
