I'm holding out for a light, need to break up the dark
I'm waiting up for a sign, some neon in the rough
A savior in the twilight
Come get me from this endless midnight
Gets harder in the nighttime
Unraveling from tainted paradise

It pulled me under
Silver tongue telling me lies
Somebody's lover
It was the thrill of my life
You're playing high stakes
Lay down your ace and your heart
Leaving it to fate
And that's just where it starts

My desperado
I'll be your whiskey, baby
Stone-cold lover
Oh, Mother Mary, save me
It's a smoking gun
The sweetest softest killer
It ain't for everyone
Honey, ain't love a thriller?

I'm looking up to the stars to tell me what to do
God knows it's the ancient law
It whispers, it takes two
He's my scarlet letter
Held forever my vendetta
Says he'll be mine forever
But only in the fairest weather

It pulled me under
Caught me at just the right time
As it got stronger
I started losing my mind
But if you asked me
If I'd do it again
I'd tell you baby
There's nothing worse or better than

My desperado
I'll be your whiskey baby
Stone-cold lover
Oh, Mother Mary, save me
It's a smoking gun
The sweetest softest killer
It ain't for everyone
Honey, ain't love a thriller?

Oh, Holy water
Make me clean again
Open up my heart and release this man
It's got a hold on me
Only thing that makes me crazy
My enemy my friend
Tell me you understand

There's nothing worse or better than
Love
Oh, love

My desperado
I'll be your whiskey baby
Stone-cold lover
Oh, Mother Mary, save me
It's a smoking gun
The sweetest softest killer
It ain't for everyone
Honey, ain't love a thriller>
