There are nights when you're as mean
As a ladder with a broken rung
When I know your sorry won't make it
From your heart to your tongueAnd there are nights when you keep pushing me
And I won't go on
'Cause when I get mad enough, darling
I will be standing my groundBut on a night like this I know I can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin
Oh, under my skin
When you slide your silky whisper under my skinThere are nights when every kiss
Is an order than I can't obey
And I can taste the lie coming
From a mile awayAnd there are nights when you keep holding me
But your arms are too tight
And I don't need what I want
'Cause what I want just don't feel rightBut on a night like this I know I can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin
Oh, under my skin
When you slide your silky whisper under my skinEverywhere that I go, I hear your name
Spoken in whispers, spoken in shame
In shameBut on a night like this I know I can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin
Yeah, under my skin
Come and slide your whisper under my skinOh, under my skin
Come and slide your whisper under my skin
You get under my skin
Come and slide your whisper under my skin
You get under my skinCome and slide your whisper under my skin
