Well you bit my lip and drew first blood And wore my cold, cold heart And your wrote your name right on my back Boy your nails were sharp Well don't stop Honey don't stop Don't stop Baby don't stop Well I love your screams of passion In the long hot summer night But you pepper me with poison darts And twisted in your knife Yeah don't stop Honey don't stop I don't stop Baby don't stop Well the only thing I ask of you Is to hand me back some pride Don't you dump me on some dusty street And hang me out to dry Don't stop Honey don't stop Baby don't stop Baby don't stop Oh honey Yeah I'm losing you I know your heart is miles away There's a whisper there where once there was a storm And all that's left is that image that I'll find a way And some memories have tattered as they've torn Don't stop Don't stop Baby don't stop Baby don't stop Honey baby don't stop Honey honey Baby don't stop Baby don't stop Come on honey don't stop Well baby Don't stop Baby baby don't stop My honey don't stop Don't ya stop Don't stop
