I hate it when you wander, 
                             
So sensual and free
                                                  
And I hate it when you're psychic, 
                                    
With things I cannot see
                                       
I hate it when you lead on, 
                                              
Like you know which way to go
                                              
And I hate it when you stumble, 
                                              
And you never touch the floor…


                                 
A pathological liar, 
                               
I’m fallin' again
                                       
With a flood of desire, 
                                                              |  
I walk the line,     between pleasure and pain…


                                       
I hate it when you're lying, 
                                       
So close to me at night
                                              
And I hate the way you whisper,
                                          
Sweet words into my mouth

                                         
Yet a woman be the reason,
                                
A woman be the light,
                                   
A woman be the colour, 
                                        
If faith would be my sight…


                                                   
I'm a man of contradiction, 
                                             
With a heart so restrained,
                                             
So afraid of commitment, 
                                                                 
I walk the line,     between pleasure and pain...



It may take one lifetime 
     
Or it may take one day
      
For me to find the courage, 
                 
Not to walk away
   
If this is all that matters,
   
If this is all we know,
       
If enlightenment is our journey, 
        (let ring)                
It will never ever… let us go 
         
(Never let us go)

I hate the way you want me, 
                                       
Passion in your eyes
                                       
I struggle and I reason, 
                                             
"This couldn't possibly be right."


                                  
And I fight you with armour, 
           
And I fight you with fear,
         
So afraid of what I would find out, 
          
If I would let your heart come near…


                                 
I believe in redemption, 
                                 
For a fool's domain
                                 
And I ask for forgiveness,
                     
I walk the line, 
                                          
Between pleasure and pain, 
                                        
Between pleasure and pain, 
               C (let ring)     D (let ring)
I walk the line... 
                                 Em (let ring)
Between pleasure and pain...


I hope it isn't too disappointing!
Have fun!!!
