(John Farrar) Every night when you're as mean As a ladder with a broken wrung When I know you're sorry won't make it From your heart to your tongue There are nights when you keep pushing me And I won't go on 'cause when I get mad enough darlin' I will be standing my ground But on a night like this I know I can't win I know my soul will burn and blister When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, oh, under my skin When you slide your silky whisper under my skin There are nights when every kiss Is an order than I can obey And I can taste the life comin' From a mile away There are nights when you keep holdin' me But your arms are too tight And I don't need what I want 'cause what I want just don't feel right But on a night like this I know I can't win I know my soul will burn and blister When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, oh, under my skin When you slide your silky whisper under my skin Everywhere that I go I hear your name Spoken in whispers, spoken in shame In shame But on a night like this I know I can't win I know my soul will burn and blister When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, yeah, under my skin Come and slide your whisper under my skin Come and slide your whisper under my skin Under my skin, ooh under my skin Come and slide your whisper (under my skin)
