Fear & Delight Songtext
von The Correspondents

Oh, but I know you′ll cause me grief
Close friends of mine are in disbelief
As they can see what's underneath
Fluttering lashes, red lips and pearly white teeth

I don′t show it but I quiver whenever you come near
And I cannot decipher between the thrill and the fear
I wanna stop it but like it too much to let it stop here
It's wrong but I want you tonight
It's not my own volition but I fell in deep
By running the distance I′ve been advised to keep
I trot to the wolf as a doting sheep
It′s wrong but I want you tonight

Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
Oh, I'll fall in love with you


Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
Oh, I′ll fall in love with you

I'm a little boy that′s gonna be getting his fingers burned
But I can see this lesson's gotta, gotta, gotta be learned
They say that boys have been destroyed but they weren′t
It's wrong but I want you tonight

In any case, my friends, it's too late
Like a moth to light, like a beast to bate
And I know the black widow eats its mate
It′s wrong but I want you tonight

Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
Oh, I′ll fall in love with you

Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
Oh, I'll fall in love with you


I′m an innocent being seduced by your charms
I'm a young boy tickled to death in your arms
Your kisses taste like bitter almonds
It′s wrong but I want you tonight

Addiction pulling me to a grave end
You're an enemy who I′m keen to defend
Down the black hole of my lust I descend
It's wrong but I want you tonight

(It's wrong but I want you tonight)
(It′s wrong but I want you tonight)
(It′s wrong but I want you tonight)
(It's wrong but I want you tonight)
(It′s wrong but I want you tonight)
(It's wrong but I want you tonight)
(It′s wrong but I want you tonight)

Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
Oh, I'll fall in love with you

Why is it that I′m keen to be devoured by you
When there's the option of a love affair that's pure and true?
I always choose the dungeon over the sea view
It′s wrong but I want you tonight

When I′m out the other side I say never again
But when I'm out and about I wanna find the next vixen
Someone who′ll be sure to drive me 'round the bend
It′s wrong but I want you tonight

Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
Oh, I'll fall in love with you

Fear and delight
All the way through the night
With a little derring-do
Oh, I′ll fall in love with you
