Soul Motion

Richard Marx · Paid Vacation [1994]

I've got the fever,

Poison in my veins

My mind ain't working right

I know the answer,

The way to ease this pain

Only got myself to fight

I can see clearly but choose to be blind

A slave to desire

Holding me, scolding me, changing your mind

You're like playing with fire



I need you

I want to stay on this soul motion ride

There is no danger when you're here by my side



Given some distance,

Just a little time

Right and wrong seems clear

But my sense of reason is nothing but unkind

Every time that you're near

Over and over I say to myself

Ooh, she's only playing

Ten thousand reasons to find someone else

Still I hear myself saying



I need you

I want to stay on this soul motion ride

There is no danger when you're here by my side



I'm out here on the edge

And I know what's in store

It should be over and done,

Just let go and run

But I've tasted too much

Nothing's the same anymore



I need you

I want to stay on this soul motion ride

There is no danger when you're here by my side
