"Paper Lion" lyrics

"Paper Lion"

(Oh oh)
I keep you deep in the ground, hidden in view
(Oh oh)
No one ever gonna share any of you
(Oh oh)
Even when I was a kid, oh sure my mother knew
(Oh oh)
I bury what I love, I'll bury you

A desperate man, running out of time
He's a desperate man, he won't stop until you understand
I'm the only one for you
A heart of gold, a precious little boy with a heart of gold
He's gonna hold you 'til your blood runs cold
I'm the only one for you

If you push me to the edge, I'll dig into you
(Oh oh)
If it's not right now, it will be soon
(Oh oh)
If you move too fast, I'll pretend I had to lose
(Oh oh)
I'll keep you right under me, I'll bury you

A desperate man, running out of time
He's a desperate man, he won't stop until you understand
I'm the only one for you
A heart of gold, a precious little boy with a heart of gold
He's gonna hold you 'til your blood runs cold
I'm the only one for you

Don't play games
If you run away then, I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
Don't be scared, I won't hurt a thing, yeah
I want to please you, I want to
(Oh oh)

It's only me and you, can't you see that
We were meant to be in love
(Oh oh)
I just want you all to myself
I'm screamin' to the skies above

A desperate man, running out of time
He's a desperate man, he won't stop until you understand
I'm the only one for you
A heart of gold, a precious little boy with a heart of gold
He's gonna hold you 'til your blood runs cold
I'm the only one for you
