It better be im  -  por  -  tant. 

Her powers out, its a sleep-walk cross town. 
Rains coming down, 
She's got candlelight and blankets.

Is this an act between friends?

You crave her skin, well,

When you wake up in the morning

And shes asking for ti  -  me,

You give in.

Shes the queen of light and candles.

You give in, you always were a sucker
      G
For a scandal. 

You ring her bell, 
She buzzes you in. 
Brush off the rain, 
You give her the umbrella
When she comes to you, 
Wrapped in her sheets. 
Is she beautiful?
How you gonna tell her?
When the touch begins, 
You cradle her face. 
Is this the betrayal of a friend?
