Steppenwolf Tenderness
She tried to show me how to love
I bit her lips and bruised her arms
No, I hadn't learned tenderness
She asked, "What does love mean to you?"
I grabbed her hair and pulled her down
I looked in her eyes and I laughed
The love, I feel is hard and fast
It's for a face and for one night
I don't need to own anyone
She said, she said, "All your women
Burn in your flame
But as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you
And seek revenge"
She laughed and said, "You'll go through Hell
You'll live in lonely rooms I know
And watch for my love's tenderness"
Oh, I went from her to someone else
And someone else, mmm
Oh, I couldn't feel satisfied
She said, she said, "All your women
Burn in your flame
And as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you
And seek revenge"
I wish that I could find her now
My love is soft, my love is warm
I'd take her to bed tenderly
Oh, I'd take her to bed tenderly
Yes, I'd take her to bed tenderly
Mmm
