Lyrics:

How can I be sure

When your intrusion is my illusion

How can I be sure

When all the time you changed my mind

I asked for more and more

How can I be sure

When you don't give me love

You give me pale shelter

You don't give me love

You give me cold hands

And I can't operate on this failure

When all I wanna be is

Completely in command

How can I be sure

For all you say you keep me waiting

How can I be sure

When all you do is see me through

I ask for more and more

How can I be sure

When you don't give me love

You give me pale shelter

You don't give me love

You give me cold hands

And I can't operate on this failure

When all I wanna be is

Completely in command

I've been here before

There is no why, no need to try

I thought you had it all

I'm calling you, I'm calling you

I ask for more and more

How can I be sure

When you don't give me love

You give me pale shelter

You don't give me love

You give me cold hands

And I can't operate on this failure

When all I wanna be is

Completely in command

(You don’t give me love)

(You don’t give me love)

(You don’t give me, give me love)
