(Difford/tilbrook) Tears for attention, heard all through the night What is it you want from me, the last seconds of the fight Kisses of corruption, tempt the spider from his web Caught between the white sheets that have fallen from your bed Heart for inspection, check the beat against the pain The fight that came to break us up puts us back together again Twitches of excitement give away my secret thoughts Love was a book at bedtime, now that book has learned to talk I get tears for attention Kisses of corruption With you When I'm with you Tears for attention dry upon a smiling face Apologies and promises bring love back together again Kisses of affection, lips that touch without a trace The idea of conception puts the smile back on my face I get tears for attention Kisses of affection And I do when I'm with you
