Love Ridden

[Verse]

Love ridden, I've looked at you

With the focus I gave to my birthday candles

I've wished on the lidded blue flames under your brow

And, baby, I wished for you

Nobody sees when you are lyin' in your bed

And I wanna crawl in with you, but I cry instead

I want your warm but it will only make me colder when it's over

So I can't tonight, baby

[Chorus]

No, not "baby" anymore

If I need you, I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while we'll only have to wave

[Bridge]

My hand won't hold you down no more

The path is clear to follow through

I stood too long in the way of the door

And now I'm giving up on you

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]

No, not "baby" anymore

If I need you, I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while we'll only have to wave

No, not "baby" anymore

If I need you, I'll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while we'll only have to wave
