Lyrics[]

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now, and let's see

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now, and let's see

There are times in the still of the night
When I don't think I'll get over you
But I've got no choice — I must
There are times when I need a new light
When your darkness has dissolved
And I can see — but only just

You'll always be here with me, you're a ghost and I've been cursed
But if you were exorcised, it would only make it worse

A demon or angel — it doesn't matter all that much
I toss and I turn every night and I try to feel your touch

And I can't stop wondering
I can't stop wondering

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now and let's see

Is it my arms? Always reaching out, but you're never there
Is it my legs? Running after your image as it soon disappears
Is it my lips? I can trace all the kisses that I missed in the night
Is it my eyes? I can still see a vision of you but it's out of my sight
You're always out of my sight

And I'll never get away from
Never get away from it

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud? (for crying out loud)
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now, lets see

What part of my body hurts the most?
What part of my soul is crying — for crying out loud?
What part of my heart is beating — faster than the speed of love?
Is this the way that it's supposed to be?

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now, let's see
Faster than the speed of love
Love, love (for crying out loud)

What part of my body hurts the most?
Come a little bit closer — come here now and we'll see
