Lyrics

Paint

[Intro: Per Gessle]

(Paint me right)

[Verse 1: Per Gessle]

I've got a hot chilly feeling I don't understand

I've got to run through this minute like a hurricane

I've got to tighten my wire from the sense to the soul

I find my back to the wall when it's time to go

I gotta know, is that your heartbeat?

[Chorus: Marie Fredriksson]

Paint me right

Can you feel the heat in me tonight?

Oh, I, I'm the pearl

Paint your love all over my world

[Verse 2: Per Gessle]

I get a love (Shock), electric, from the touch of your hand

I'm getting lost in the riddles of the modern man

I've got it up, down, all around, tied to the bone

Hey, there's a strange situation on the late night show

I gotta know, is that your heartbeat?

[Chorus: Marie Fredriksson]

Paint me right

Can you feel the heat in me tonight?

Oh, I, I'm the pearl

Paint your love all over my world

Do it right

I can feel the woman in me tonight

Oh, I, I'm the pearl

Paint your love all over my world

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Marie Fredriksson]

Paint me right

Can you feel the heat in me tonight?

Oh, I, I can feel the heat in me

[Chorus: Marie Fredriksson, Marie Fredriksson & Per Gessle]

Paint me right

Can you feel the heat in me tonight?

Oh, I, I'm the pearl

Paint your love all over my world

Do it right

I can feel the woman in me tonight

Oh, I, I'm the pearl

Paint your love all over my world

[Outro: Marie Fredriksson, Marie Fredriksson & Per Gessle]

Paint your love all over my world

Paint your love all over my world

Paint your love all over my world
