so many times have I asked you to tell me
that I'm your girl
'cause time after time I have needed a reason
just to get inside your world
so many times have I asked you to ask me
how it feels to love
and when this love seems the only conclusion
that I'm guilty of, oh baby, then you
put your loving arms around me
and it feels like shelter when you
put your loving arms around me
and inside your arms I'm burning
put your loving arms around me
and you whisper to me when you
put your loving arms around me
and inside this love I'm yearning
sometimes the way that you act makes me wonder
what I am to you
and sometimes I can't stand the way that I'm acting
to be part of the things you do
often I've asked you for too much of your time
like I'm stealing
and when I dream of the fear that you're leaving
and I reach out, my baby, then you
put your loving arms around me
and it feels like shelter when you
put your loving arms around me
and inside your arms I'm burning
put your loving arms around me
and you whisper to me when you
put your loving arms around me
inside this love I'm yearning, yearning, yearning
inside this love I'm yearning
how many times have I asked you to tell me
that I'm your girl
time after time I have needed a reason
just to get inside your world
so many times have I asked you to ask me
how it feels to love
and when this love seems the only conclusion
that I'm guilty of, my baby, then you
put your loving arms around me
and it feels like shelter when you
put your loving arms around me
and inside your arms I'm burning
put your loving arms around me
and you whisper to me when you
put your loving arms around me
and inside this love I'm yearning
put your loving arms around me - mm yeah
put your loving arms around me
(burning inside yeah, I'm burning inside)
put your loving arms around me
(burning inside yeah, I'm burning inside yeah)
put your loving arms around me
(burning, burning, burning, burning)
burning, burning, burning
inside this love I'm burning, burning, burning
inside this love I'm burning, burning, burning
inside this love I'm burning
ooh

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤ bazgray
