Oh I love, Oh I love, Oh I love
What you do to my head
When you pull me upstairs
And you push me to bed.
I love what you do to my head.
It's a mess out there!

Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my heart
When you push me back down
And then pull me apart.
I love what you do to my heart.
It's the best, oh yeah!

Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my lips
When you suck me inside
And you blow me a kiss.
I love what you do to my lips
It's so sweet in there.

Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my hips
When you blow me outside
And then suck me like this.
I love what you do to my hips
It's the beat oh yeah!

You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please.
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze.
And it gets better everyday, I play
With you it's such a scream.
Yeah it gets better everyday, I say
With you it's so extreme.
Yeah it gets wetter everyday, I stay
With you it's like a dream.

Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my skin.
Please slip me on
And slide me in.
I love what you do to my skin
It's a ? oh yeah.

Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my bones
When you slide me up
And take me home.
I love what you do to my bones
It's the crush oh yeah.

You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please.
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze.

And it gets hazier anyway, I sway
With you it's such a scream
Yeah it gets mazier every play, I say
With you it's so extreme.
Yeah it gets crazier everyday, I stay
With you it's like a dream.

Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to me.

The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »
