Left in the Dark Lyrics

Cover art for Left in the Dark lyrics by Meat Loaf

This one of Jim Steinmans (Meat Loafs Songwriter) greatest songs to me. The emotions are very strong. You love someone, you know that you are cheated by her, you are angry and jealous but you still love her. Good example that a song can express more than the words itself. The song was first published on Steinmans Solo Album "Bad for good" in 1981. There, it contained the following introduction: "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, honest, where did he go and who made the very first move?"

which rounds up quite nicely with the spoken

"You make the very first move"

at the end of the Meat Loaf Version on "Welcome to the neighbourhood"
