Soul Motion

Richard Marx

I've got the fever, 
Poison in my veins 
My mind ain't working right 
I know the answer, 
The way to ease this pain 
Only got myself to fight 
I can see clearly but choose to be blind 
A slave to desire 
Holding me, scolding me, changing your mind 
You're like playing with fire 

I need you 
I want to stay on this soul motion ride 
There is no danger when you're here by my side 

Given some distance, 
Just a little time 
Right and wrong seems clear 
But my sense of reason is nothing but unkind 
Every time that you're near 
Over and over I say to myself 
Ooh, she's only playing 
Ten thousand reasons to find someone else 
Still I hear myself saying 

I need you 
I want to stay on this soul motion ride 
There is no danger when you're here by my side 

I'm out here on the edge 
And I know what's in store 
It should be over and done, 
Just let go and run 
But I've tasted too much 
Nothing's the same anymore 

I need you 
I want to stay on this soul motion ride 
There is no danger when you're here by my side
