Burning Down One Side

Robert Plant

Slipped through the window by the back door

Caught short in transit with my love

Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance

How could I fall without a shove?

Tiptoe like thunder on my feelings

You rock me gently with your sighs

My knees are week, my head is reeling

Consumed by fire in your eyes...

(Dont'cha know why, goodness no! Why?)

Stepped in and shattered my defenses

Just playin' hookey with my heart

Slipped through the window by the back door

And took the keys to my poor heart..

...yes my poor heart

Try as I might, try as I may

Well I'd try anything to make you stay

Cuz I need your love, yes I need your love

ooh I need your love, yes I need your love

I'm lookin' high, I'm lookin' low

tryin' to find where did my baby go

Gotta find out why she ran away

I don't know where did my baby stayTry as I might, try as I may

Well I'd try anything to make you stay...

Just find that Boulevard d'amour

shoot through a neon in the night

hot-foot through alleys, check the doorways

try that old parking lot on 9th

There's 3-course-kissing in the same way

Oh but that don't help me none no more

I've been away too long and dreaming

little girl ain't I seen you before?

... oooh little girl...
