 I hate  it when you wander,
 So  sensual and free
 And I hate  it when you're psychic,
 With things  I cannot see
 I hate  it when you lead on,
 Like you  know which way to go
 And I hate  it when you stumble,
 And  you never touch the floor
 A pathological  liar,
 I’m fallin'  again
 With a flood  of desire,
 I walk the line,  between  pleasure and pain…
 I hate  it when you're lying,
 So  close to me at night
 And  I hate the way you whisper,
 Sweet  words into my mouth
 Yet a woman  be the reason,
 A woman  be the light,
 A woman  be the colour,
 If faith  would be my sight…
 I'm a man  of contradiction,
 With a heart  so restrained,
 So afraid  of commitment,
 I walk the line,  between  pleasure and pain...
It  may take one lifetime
 Or it  may take one day
 For me  to find the courage,
Not  to walk away
 If this  is all that matters,
 If this  is all we know,
 If enlightenment  is our journey,
 It will  never ever… let us go
 (Never  let us go)
 I hate  the way you want me,
 Passion  in your eyes
 I struggle  and I reason,
 "This  couldn't possibly be right."
 And I fight  you  with armour,
 And I fight  you  with fear,
 So afraid  of  what I would find out,
 If I would  let  your heart come near…
 I believe in  redemption,
 For a fool's  domain
 And I ask for  forgiveness,
 I walk the line,
 Between pleasure and pain,
 Between pleasure  and pain,
 I walk the line...
 Between pleasure and pain...
 I hope it isn't too disappointing!
 Have fun!!!
