Artie:
Woah-oah-oho

Listen honey, just like Ronnie sang

Be my little baby

Uh-oh-ooh
I feel a hunger, it's a hunger
That tries to keep a man awake at night

Are you the answer? I shouldn't wonder
Oh, when I feel you with my appetite

With all the power you're releasing
(It isn't safe to walk the city streets alone)

Anticipation is running through me
Let's find the key and turn this engine on

I can feel you breathe
I can (feel your heart beat)

I get frightened in all this darkness
(I get nightmares, I hate to sleep alone)

I need some company, a guardian angel
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow
