Left in the Dark Lyrics by Jim Steinman

Bad for Good

0

[Spoken Intro: Jim Steinman]
Where did he touch you and how did it feel?
And why did you let it begin?
What did he whisper, and when did you cry?
And where do you think it will end?
How long did you do it, and why did you stop?
Did you get to try anything new?
How good was he honestly, and were did you go?
And who made the very first move?
[Verse 1: Jim Steinman]
You don't have to sneak in the door
Just come on into the room
I've been lying in our bed in the dark all alone
And I've been waiting, I've been waiting for you
There's been no reason to move
It's been as still as a tomb
I needed you oh so badly tonight
But I guess you had better things to do
I should have known that it was coming to this
But I must have been blind
I bet you still got a trace of his love in your eyes
And you still got his eyes on your mind
You swore you'd be with me at 7 o'clock
Now it's a quarter to three
And whatever you got and whoever it was
I guess you couldn't get it from me
[Pre-Chorus: Jim Steinman]
I know that you love me
There's no need to talk
I see the look in your eyes and I got the proof
And there are no lies on your body
So take off your dress
I just want to get at the truth
I know that you love me
There's no need to talk
I see the look in your eyes and I got the proof
And there are no lies on your body
So take off your dress
I just want to get at the truth
[Chorus: Jim Steinman]
There are so many things that I just got to know
You tell me who! You tell me where! You tell me when!
But don't tell me now, I don't need any answers tonight
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
Left in the dark again
[Verse 2: Jim Steinman]
I should have known that it was coming to this
But I must have been blind
I bet you still got a trace of his love in your eyes
And you still got his eyes on your mind
You swore you'd be with me at 7 o'clock
Now it's a quarter to three
And whatever you got and whoever it was
I guess you couldn't get it from me
I guess you couldn't get it from me
But down in my soul, down in my soul
I know -
[Pre-Chorus: Jim Steinman]
I know that you love me
There's no need to talk
I see the look in your eyes and I got the proof
And there are no lies on your body
So take off your dress
I just want to get at the truth
[Chorus: Jim Steinman]
There are so many things that I just got to know
You tell me who! You tell me where! You tell me when!
But don't tell me now, I don't need any answers tonight
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again
Left in the dark again
[Spoken Outro: Jim Steinman]
Did he ever get rough?
Did you ever get tender?
Did it leave any scars?
Do you expect them to heal?
What did he look like?
Did he remind you of me?
Were you willing to beg, or to kneel?
Did he keep his eyes open?
Did you bother to look?
Or was he only a kid after all?
Where did he touch you, and how did it feel?
If you need him again will he still be on call?
And who made the very first move?
Who made the very first move?
Who made the very first move?...
