Lyrics

The walls of this hotel are paper thin Last night I heard you making love to him The struggle mouth to mouth and limb to limb The grunt of unity when he came in I stood there with my ear against the wall I was not seized by jealousy at all In fact, a burden lifted from my soul I heard that love was out of my control A heavy burden lifted from my soul I learned that love was out of my control I listened to your kisses at the door I never heard the world so clear before You ran your bath and you began to sing I felt so good I couldn't feel a thing I stood there with my ear against the wall I was not seized by jealousy at all In fact, a burden lifted from my soul I heard that love was out of my control A heavy burden lifted from my soul I learned that love was out of my control And I can't wait to tell you to your face And I can't wait for you to take my place You are the naked angel in my heart You are the woman with her legs apart It's written on the walls of this hotel You go to heaven once you've been to hell A heavy burden lifted from my soul I heard that love was out of my control
