Ozzy Osbourne · Other Songs - Ozzy Osbourne
vicious cause you want to be leaving time possessed to please you
what might have been was never the way you envisioned things
so difficult to stop pretending
what's this to you anyway
turn down the voluptuous
keeping close to me again
hold back your virtues
you're fearless in motion
you found your way so why keep asking me
nothing common suits you, you live again in solitary,
look away for now, beautiful alone,
now who decides to settle down
maybe nobody really cares
whats this to you anyway
turn down the voluptuous
keeping close to me again
hold back your virtues
you're fearless in motion
something dirty's got you dear
makes me want to be with you
somethings painful's with you dear
makes me want to be with you
you're better off saying nothing,
wish for a happy ending
you're better off saying nothing
repent so all's forgiven
something dirty's got you dear
makes me want to be with you
somethings painful's with you dear
makes me want to be with you
something dirty's got you dear
makes me want to be with you
somethings painful's with you dear
makes me want to be with you
something dirty's got you dear
makes me want to be with you
somethings painful's with you dear
makes me want to be with you
