Lyrics

[Intro]

If you've got love in your sights

Watch out!

Love bites

[Verse 1]

When you make love, do you look in your mirror?

Who do you think of? Does he look like me?

Do you tell lies, and say that it's forever?

Do you think twice? Or just touch and see?

Ooh, babe

Oh yeah

[Verse 2]

When you're alone, do you let go?

Are you wild and willing or is it just for show?

Ooh, come on

[PreChorus]

I don't wanna touch you too much, baby

'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy

I know you think that love is the way you make it

So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it

No!

[Chorus]

Love bites, love bleeds

It's bringing me to my knees

Love lives, love dies

It's no surprise

Love begs, love pleads

It's what I need

[Verse 3]

When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?

Am I getting through? Or do you please yourself?

When you wake up, will you walk out?

It can't be love, if you throw it about

Ooh, babe

[PreChorus]

I don't wanna touch you too much, baby

'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy

[Chorus]

Love bites, love bleeds

It's bringing me to my knees

Love lives, love dies

It's no surprise

Love begs, love pleads

It's what I need

[Bridge]

Oh, yeah

[PreChorus]

I don't wanna touch you too much, baby

'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy

I know you think that love is the way you make it

So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it

No!

[Chorus]

Love bites, love bleeds

It's bringing me to my knees

Love lives, love dies

Love bites, love bleeds

It's bringing me to my knees

Love lives, love dies

It's no surprise

Love begs, love pleads

It's what I need

[Outro]

If you've got love in your sights

Watch out!

Love bites
