Tracy Chapman - In The Dark lyrics

Make me fumble Make me fall Make my heart stop and start To tremble uncontrollably Let my eyes see fear make desire Keep those who long apart Forbid the kiss And leave us innocent Of the things some do in the dark The things some do in the dark The things some do in the dark Make me remember Make me forget Make my mind unable To force the body to do its will Let it be right for belief and denial To share a space in the heart and leave us only to imagine About the things some do in the dark The things some do in the dark The things some do in the dark Make me pretend Make me expect Things can go and come to pa** Without trial or tribulation Let this life space and time Leave my body with permanent marks Faded scars and lines But not a single impression Of the things some do in the dark The things some do in the dark The things some do in the dark Let me be tempted Let me be torn But make my thoughts pure and not Morally corrupt in form Let us sleep tonight Let innocence lie in our dreams and secret hearts With burning desire A need to know and do The things some do in the dark The things some do in the dark The things some do in the dark © 2001 Tracy Chapman
