I hate it when you wonder so sensual and free
And I hate it when you're psychic With the 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 am fallin' again
With a flood of desire I walk the line
Between pleasure and pain

I hate it when you're lyin' So close to me at night
And I hate it when you whisper Sweet words into my mouth
Yeah the woman be the reason A woman be the light
A woman be the color 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 enlightment is our journey It will never, ever let us go
(Never let us go)

I hate it when you want me Passion in your eyes
I struggle and I reason "This couldn't possibly be right"
And I fight you with honor And I fight you with fear
So afraid of what I would find out If I were to 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
