Lyrics
I've been tied up before--my hands behind my back
Been locked behind closed doors. So sad, but it's a fact
But nothing yet has made me wanna scream so loud the windows crack
So the moment you open your mouth,
I'm gonna kiss you; body and soul
Body and soul, I'm gonna kiss you, make you my own
Though I don't know what's come over me
And I can't say what the hand will be
Suddenly comes this thief on the rise--
A smooth pickpocket with an eye on the prize
So the moment you close your eyes,
I'm gonna steal you, body and soul
Body and soul, Body and soul, I'm gonna steal you
from right under your sweet little nose
Body and soul..
I hope this makes it down into the deepest secret workings of your heart
That's where I'll start
So the moment your heart stops its lies,
You're gonna find that I make you whole
Body and soul. Body and soul.
