You have placed a chill in my heart 
You have placed a chill in my heart 
Take me to the desert 
Where there's got to be 
A whole heap of nothing 
For you and me 
Take me to the desert 
Take me to the sand 
Show me the colour of your right hand 
You have placed a chill in my heart 
You have placed a chill in my heart 
Love is a temple 
Love is a shrine 
Buy some love at the five and dime 
A little bit of love 
>From the counter store 
Get it on credit if you need some more 
I'll be the figure of your disgrace 
A criss cross pattern upon your face 
A woman's just too tired to think 
About the dirty old dishes in the kitchen sink 
I wish I was invisible 
So I could climb through the telephone 
When it hurts my ear 
And it hurts my brain 
And it makes me feel too much 
Too much too much too much 
Don't cut me down 
When I'm talking to you 
'Cause I'm much too tall 
To feel that small 
Love is a temple 
Love is a shrine 
Love is pure 
And love is blind 
Love is a religious sign 
I'm gonna leave this love behind 
Love is hot and love is cold 
I've been bought and I've been sold 
Love is rock and love is roll 
I just want someone to hold
