Lyrics
On a hot summer night
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth?
Yes
Will he offer me his teeth?
Yes
Will he offer me his jaws?
Yes
Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
Again, will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
And will he starve without me?
Yes
And does he love me?
Yes
Yes
On a hot summer night
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Yes
I bet you to say that to all the boys
It was a hot summer night
And a beach was burning
And fog crawling over the sand
When I listen to your heart I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars falling through your trembling hands
While you were licking your lips and lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
Oh we were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there’s not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
Oh you will hold me so close and my knees grow weak
But my soul is flying high above the ground
I’m trying to speak but no matter what I do
I just can’t seem to make any sound
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)
Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I’m beginning to grin
Oh we’re finally alone and we can do what we want
Oh the night is young and ain’t no-one gonna know where you
No-one gonna know where you
No-one’s gonna know where you’ve been
While you were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
Oh we were lying together in a silver lining
By the the light of the moon
You know there’s not another moment to waste
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh and I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
(Must have been while you were kissing me)
Oh you took the words right out of my mouth
(Must have been while you were kissing me)
Oh you took the words right out of my mouth
(Must have been while you were kissing me)
Oh you took the words right out of my mouth
(Must have been while you were kissing me)
Oh you took the words right out of my mouth
(Must have been while you were kissing me)
Oh you took the words right out of my mouth
(Must have been while you were kissing me)
Oh yeah yeah yeah
(Must have been while you were kissing me)
Oh you took the words right out of my mouth
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh, it must have been while you were
