Well I should have known better
Than to think that I could hold you
A goddess can't belong to just one man
It was sure fun while it lasted
But now the thrill is gone
Still I speak your name to everyone I can

Exquisite torture
Is what you gave to me
Exquisite torture- what a shame
Exquisite torture
I can never be free

We loved each other but our love's in vain
I was happy in my misery
But I should have realized
If you walked in I'd never be the same
And sure enough it happened
Just like they say it does
In many works of fiction I could name

Exquisite torture
Is what you gave to me
Exquisite torture- what a shame
Exquisite torture
I can never be free

We loved each other but our love's in vain
You visit every morning and every evening too
You're with me as the day goes crawling by
You come to me when I'm alone
It's out of my control
In my mind we still go through life side by side
