I love that look comes in your eyes when we're all alone And it's much too late for friends to come calling, I disconnect the phone And I put on the radio, and I take her and I talk real low And I hold her tight, and soon I'm dancing in the night
Inside Sylvia, oh Sylvia, yeah yeah Sylvia, I know my love is alive Inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, ah
Sometimes you get so crazy, I know it's all in your mind And right in the middle of the night I see just what you need And they say that love is blind And I hold you till the feelings come, but sometimes when the loving's done I see a scared little girl, afraid of the woman
*Inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, I know my love is alive Inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, ah
Though the world can rage and storm There's still one hollow where I'm safe and warm It's when I'm inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, ah Inside Sylvia, yeah Sylvia, oh Sylvia, ah
When we talk, it's a thriller baby, it's like walkin' on a tight-rope line When we spark, it's electric, baby, like a cracker from a neon sign What you're doin' baby, come on over tonight, yeah yeah yeah We'll have a joint, children, we'll be doin' doin' doin' alright
*Red hot & blue love, red hot & blue love Whatever you're thinkin' of, you can do it, do it, do it With red hot & blue love

*The light of love is always on You know my love's getting stronger and stronger The light of love is always on, keepin' the night watch
Baby are you lonely, don't talk to strangers I'm tryin' to tell myself you won't be gone for long And when we get to the part, baby, where all of the tears start to come Will you turn around, get on the plane that brings you back Will you come back home, 'cos you know I'm waiting

I'm afraid of love, so afraid of love, and I'm scared to make it right But I know tonight that it's my last chance, my last shot At real love, and I wanna take it Last chance, with a slow dance in the big time, and I wanna make it
Tonight you're gonna show me what love is and why Between the sweatin' 'n' lovin' and the whisper and the cry I'm so tired of all this shit that I feel, show me something real
*Carry me away, baby carry me away I'm in love with you tonight, feels so right Carry me away, come on carry me away, I wanna be with you, what can I do? You've got the power, you got the love To take me to heaven or to leave me to heartbreak
I spent my life waitin' for the future and livin' in the past Baby, show me love that I can hold on to, give me something that'll last
I'm a total wreck, but I'm up to my neck In this love I'm in, and I can't do a thing It's a long shot, a far cry from a real world, me and you baby Last chance at the slow dance, in the bright lights, and I think that maybe
Tonight it's gonna happen, no need of tryin' Between the sweatin' 'n' lovin' and the whisper and the cry I'm so scared of all this feeling I feel, show me something real
*Repeat
You got the power, you got the love To take me to heaven or to leave me to heartbreak
Where are you runnin' my love, through the back streets of the city You're keeping an eye on the horizon, looking over your shoulder Must be some demon drivin' you
I must have looked like a prime one Running after you, thinking we still could survive But nobody I've ever loved, ever hurt me like you did, that lack of feeling
*I've got a hole in my heart, you know that I've got a hole in my heart But I won't beg, no baby, I won't beg anymore
You're nothing but a taker, a real heartbreaker Who ever hurt you so long ago, baby He must have been a master, you learned it there
*Repeat
Nobody I've ever loved, ever hurt me like you did, with that lack of feeling
*Repeat
I've got a hole in my heart, I've got a hole in my heart I've got a hole in my heart
