"Loving You Is Killing Me"
(Dion Dimucci / Bob Smith / Bill Tuohy)

There's a lead-fed silence in the air all around
I can't take it any more
It's a rip-trip hammer and I'm feeling the sound
I never felt it before
I'm a dazed-crazed victim of a tragic mistake
Girl, we can not go on
With this tear-fear tremor of a major earthquake
I just try to hang on

[Chorus:]
Loving you is killing me
It's life or death, girl, can't you see
So if you love me then set me free
Let go, let love, let it live

There's a rag-tag army fighting inside my brain
A-bomb is bound to blow
It's a worn-torn tremor of emotional rain
Someone's just got to say no
In the mud-flood battle of raw nerves of steel
Mine have just melted down
And the tense-fence guarding me from all that I feel
I just collapsed to the ground

[Chorus]

It's the non-stop pressure of a lifetime with you
I've just got to unload
There's no quick-fix solution anyone can do
My head is ripe to explode
It's a mad-bad feeling and there's no way out
No one's going to reform
It's a rough-tough tremor and it's got me worn out
I'm like a leaf in a storm

[Chorus 2x]

Let it go, let it flow
