Robert Plant Lyrics

Album: Pictures at Eleven

Burning Down One Side Lyrics

Slipped through the window by the back door

Caught short in transit with my love

Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance

How could I fall without a shove?

Tiptoe like thunder on my feelings

You rock me gently with your sighs

My knees are weak, my head is reeling

Consumed by fire in your eyes...

Don'tcha know why?

Goodness no! Why?

Stepped in and shattered my defenses

Just playing hookey with my heart

Slipped through the window by the back door

And took the keys to my poor heart

Yes my poor heart

Try as I might, try as I may

Yes I'll I try anything to just make you stay

'Cuz I need your love, yes I need your love

Ooh I need your love, yes I need your love

I'm looking high I'm looking low

Tryin' to find where did my baby go

Gotta find out why she ran away

I don't know, where did my baby stay?

Try as I might, try as I may

Oh I'll try anything to just make you stay

Just find that 'Boulevard d'Amour'

Shoot through a neon in the night

Hotfoot through alleys, check the doorways

Try that old parking lot on 9th

There's three-course kissing in the same way

Oh but that don't help me none no more

I've been away so long and dreaming

Little girl ain't I seen you before?

Ooh little girl...
