 Em                                   B
 Oh but I know you'll cause me grief
 D                                      A
 Close friends of mine are in disbelief
 Em                                   B
 As they can see what's underneath
 D                               A
 Fluttering lashes, red lips and pearly white teeth


         Em 
 I don't show it but I quiver whenever you come near
       B                           
 And I cannot decipher between the thrill and the fear
           D
 I want to stop it but like it too much to let it stop here
      A
 It's wrong but I want you tonight


        Em
 It was not my own volition but I fell in deep
    B
 By running the distance I'd been advised to keep
   D
 I trot to the wolf as a doting sheep
      A
 It's wrong but I want you tonight


 Em (single)
 Fear and delight
 B
 All the way through the night
        D
 With a little daring do
      A
 I'll fall in love with you


         Em
 I'm the little boy that's gonna be getting fingers burned
           B
 But I can see this lesson's gotta gotta gotta be learned
      D
 They say that boys have been destroyed but they weren't
      A
 It's wrong but I want you tonight


    Em
 In any case, my friends, it's too late
        B
 Like a moth to light, like a beast to bait
       D
 And I know the black widow eats its mate
      A
 It's wrong but I want you tonight

 Fear and delight
 All the way through the night
 With a little daring do
 I'll fall in love with you


        Bm       A       G             F#
 I'm an innocent being seduced by your charms
       Bm        A          G             F#
 I'm a young boy tickled to death in your arms
      Bm     A          G      F#
 Your kisses taste like bitter almonds
      Bm          A        G F#
 It's wrong but I want you tonight


             Bm      A          G          F#
 You're an addiction pulling me to a grave end
           Bm    A       G         F#
 You're an enemy who I'm keen to defend
 Bm             A          G         F#
 Down the black hole of my lust I descend
      Bm          A        G F#
 It's wrong but I want you tonight

 Fear and delight
 All the way through the night
 With a little daring do
 I'll fall in love with you

     Em
 Why is it that I'm keen to be devoured by you
                  B
 When there's the option of a love affair that's pure and true
   D
 I always choose the dungeon over the sea view
      A
 It's wrong but I want you tonight


          Em
 When I'm out the other side I say never again
     B                       
 But when I'm out and about I want to find the next vixen
 D
 Someone who'll be sure to drive me 'round the bend
      A
 It's wrong but I want you tonight

 Fear and delight
 All the way through the night
 With a little daring do
 I'll fall in love with you
