you were a vision of beauty (8)
but time would soon reveal (6)
just another open wound (7)
ONE LEFT ALONE to heal (6)

you doused my mind with SWEETEST words (8)
to fuel the fiercest flame (6)
THEN YOU watched me crash and burn (7)
lookED down BUT FELT no shame (6)

[refrain]
TALK on, baby, talk on
it's what you do best
i learned it the hard way (I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY)
and so will all the rest

i fell to your seductive spirit (WITH A SPIRIT OF SEDUCTION) (8)
your words BROKE THROUGH my walls (6)
THEN THOSE WALLS came crashing down (7)
ON lies that made me fall (6)

your tender touch reached through me
and pierced my hardened heart
a soft knife hidden too deep
your thrusts ripped me apart

[refrain]
walk on, baby, walk on
it's what you do right
i learned it the hard way (I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY)
and after our one night

convinced me to believe in dreams (8)
I THOUGHT had been long gone (6)
i was your one hit wonder (7)
one poorly written song (6)

[refrain]
walk on, baby, walk on
it's what you do best
i learned it the hard way (I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY)
and so will all the rest

walk on, baby, walk on
oh walk on, just, walk on
