Oh, sing to me, baby, oh

She was a poetry girl I adored
Late at night I'd hear songs from her window
Myrrh and frankincense seeped through her door
And they lingered on
As her fingers caressed her guitar
Felt like the strings of my heart she was strumming
With her words we made love from afar
As she sang her song, yeah

They were songs of change (Uh-huh)
Joy and pain (Joy)
All the love she made
Like she took the words from
Every dream I've known (Oh)
Every love outrun
Singing on and on
Like she took the words from my heart
Yeah, right out of my heart

And to the poetry girl down the hall (Mhm)
Late at night I would answer her calling (Yes, I would)
Like the lyrics from one of her songs
She made love to me (Making love to me)
Now our bodies and souls intertwine (Ooh)
On the wings of passion, we were soaring (Oh)
Then by the flickering candlelit night
She would sing to me, yeah, yeah

They were songs of change (They were)
Joy and pain (Oh yeah)
All the love she made (Mhm)
Like she took the words from
Every dream I've known (My dream)
Every love outrun (And I know)
Singing on and on (Oh)
Like she took the words from my heart, yeah
Oh, baby, mhm
Ooh, oh, oh, hey, hey, oh baby

Love is often unkind when we fall
For now my poetess sings to another
But when I think of those nights down the hall
From somewhere deep inside

I sing songs of change (I sing)
Joy and pain (Joy)
All the love I've made (Oh yeah)
And I take the words from (Hey)
Every dream I've known (Every love)
Every love outrun (Oh)
Singing on and on (Singing on and on)
Like I take the words from my heart (Oh)
They were songs of change
Joy and pain
All the love she made (All the love she made)
Like she took the words from (Sang to me, sang to me)
Every dream I've known (Every dream)
Every love outrun (Every love)
Singing on and on (On and on)
Like she took the words from my heart (On and on, oh)
They were songs of change (Yeah, baby)
Joy and pain (Singing 'bout joy and pain)
All the love she made (Yeah)
Like she took the words from (Every word)
Every dream I've known (Every dream that I've ever known)
Every love outrun (She sang out)
Singing on and on (Sang on)
Like she took the words from (Ooh)
They were songs of change (Hey)
Joy and pain (Sang)
All the love she made (Yeah, baby)
Like she took the words from (Every word)
Every dream I've known (Every word)
Every love outrun (Hey, hey)
Singing on and on (Oh)
Like she took the words from my heart (Oh)
