Fear & Delight Lyrics

Oh, but I know you'll cause me grief
Close friends of mine are in disbelief
As they can see what's underneath
Fluttering lashes, red lips, and pearly white teeth
I don't show it but I quiver whenever you come near
And I cannot decipher between the thrill and the fear
I want to stop but I like it too much to let it stop here
It's wrong, but I want you tonight
It was not my own volition but I fell in deep
By running the distance I'd been advised to keep
I trot to the wolf as a doting sheep
It's wrong, but I want you tonight

Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
I'll fall in love with you
(x2)

I'm a little boy who's gonna be gettin' his fingers burned
But I can see this lesson's gotta, gotta, gotta be learned
They say that boys have been destroyed, but they weren't
It's wrong, but I want you tonight
In any case, my friends, it's too late
Like a moth to light, like a beast to bait
And I know the black widow eats its mate
It's wrong, but I want you tonight
Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
I'll fall in love with you
(x2)

I'm an innocent being seduced by your charms
I'm a young boy tickled to death in your arms
Your kisses taste like bitter almonds
It's wrong, but I want you tonight
You're an addiction pulling me to a grave end
You're an enemy who I'm keen to defend
Down the black hole of my l*** I descend
It's wrong, but I want you tonight
Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
I'll fall in love with you

Why is it that I'm keen to be devoured by you
When there's the option of a love affair that's pure and true?
I always choose a dungeon over the sea view
It's wrong, but I want you tonight
When I'm out the other side, I say never again
But when I'm out and about I wanna find the next vixen
Someone who'll be sure to drive me round the bend
It's wrong, but I want you tonight

Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
I'll fall in love with you
(x2)
