Unfinished Sympathy
Tina Turner · Wildest Dreams [1996]
And how it could be with you
You really hurt me baby
You really cut me baby
How could you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more
The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
You really hurt me baby
You really cut me baby
How could you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more
Like a soul without a mind
And a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
