Prey of my Heart

You said you'd call tonight,

But I am still waiting, 

And I've been up all night. 

I don't know if I should be mad

Or worried.

I don't know

If I should care at all.

Is it so bad just to want 

To hear your voice?

An hour grows into years,

And the night an eternity - 

Don't you remember I have to get up early tomorrow?

You know I can't sleep without knowing you are ok - 

You know it's even hard to be

Without you by my side.

So where are you?

And where have you been?

Do I have to hunt you down

Like the prey of my heart that you are?

You are my prey -

You won't ever get away.
I heard you call my name -

From a place so far away. 

I felt you falling,

Slipping away from me.
I packed my bags and took the first flight out -

And that's why I am standing here tonight. 

It's nice to see 

I'm the only one on your doorstep -

But will I be the only girl in your bed?

So where is she?

Do I have to tear her apart?

Don't make me hunt you down

Like the prey of my heart that you are.

You are my prey - 

You won't ever get away.

Across the table at dinner, 

You swear you're innocent,

And I almost believe you. 

Then a girl across the room

Comes walking over 

Like you are her business

And throws herself in your lap. 

She bats her eyes and 

Kisses your cheek,

Trying to steal my prey.

You roll your eyes and push her away,

She stops and stares in disbelief.

Then you look at me -
Eye to eye, deep inside.

"I don't want you to hunt me down

Like the prey of your heart that I am,

I already know I am your prey -

I won't ever get away,

I am your prey."

You are my prey - 

And now I am yours.
Let's take this fight

Behind closed doors.

Now we'll hunt each other down, 

The prey of two hearts.

We'll be hunting well into the dark - 

My sweet,

My Love - 

The prey of my heart.
