Left In The Dark Lyrics

(spoken intro)


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?
Where did you go?
And who made the very first move?

(sung)

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

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

And 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
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 - 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

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)

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?

This songs means a lot to me - I made my comments at the Meat Loaf Version (after all, Meat Loaf is the better singer). I am wondering about the spoken parts. I now the introduction, but the part at the end is not contained on my CD - was that only on Vinyl?

Some CDs have it, some don't.

...Sorry I always prefer Jim's songs over Meat's as Jim wrote them! ML keeps pilfering Steinman's collection! If you want to her a classic Steinman album then listen to Pandoras Box/Original Sin! Tc
