open your back door
That s all i believe, how can you turn To, i just need to touch you

I want to come over, i want to come over, open your back door

To hell with the consequence, lover don t speak
Lover i burn, open your back door, she filled you with fear
Open your back door, it s a need i can t explain
i just need to touch you
I know your friend, i want to come over, lover i burn
It s a need i can t explain, lover i burn
i know your friend
i just need to touch you
I want to come over, it s a need i can t explain
i want to come over
it s a need i can t explain
I want to come over, i just need to touch you, i want to come over
I know that you re shaken, i want to come over
To see you again, she filled you with fear
You told her about me, i want to come over
I want to come over, lover i burn, how can you turn
i know you re weak
I watched the car leave, it s a need i can t explain
I want to come over, you left your light on
once we begin
You left your light on, you told her about me
your lover is gone
that s all i believe
i want to come over
That s all i believe, it s a need i can t explain
The night is thin, your lover is gone Melissa, to see you again
I know that you re shaken, i want to come over
that s all i believe
Denying the fire, to hell with the consequence
some kind of sin
I just need to touch you, i want to come over
You left your light on, you think we ll be lost
i know that you want me
you gotta give Melissa credit for getting the hottest actresses of the 90's to be in her videos. Juliette Lewis, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow... good for her!
I heard your song years ago at a time in my life when the words meant everything to me. Made sense in my life. I just want you to know that your music helped me to come to terms with a bad relationship. Dumped the asshole after 14 years. Love your music. Great artist.
I know you're home
You left your light on
You know I'm here
The night is thin
I know you're alone
I watched the car leave
Your lover is gone
Let me in
Open your back door
I just need to touch you once more
I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you loved me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over
I know your friend
You told her about me
She filled you with fear
Some kind of sin
How can you turn
Denying the fire
Lover I burn
Let me in
Open your back door
I just need to touch you once more
I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you loved me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over
I know you're confused
I know that you're shaken
You think we'll be lost
Once we begin
I know you're weak
I know that you want me
Lover don't speak
Let me in
I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you loved me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over
This song reminds me of my first love.. When being gay wasn't excepted.. I will always love you!!!!
I absolutely love this song... Love u melissa...great musician!
The perfect song about someone who is in love with someone else that is already taken. The two people share the same intense feeling, but the unfortunate circumstances of one being in a relationship hurts the other who is still yearning, wanting, and needing the others love.
I'm a total sucker for woman who bare their heart when they sing. Janis Joplin, Dana Fuchs, Tina Turner, and so many others. Pain from the heart, Melissa Etheridge gives you a woman's soul in pain! Powerful!
If I didn't already love this song and hadn't already seen the video, I would say it was the definition of being in a relationship with a narcissist--like how it feels being the one "trapped" by a narcissist and in that first few hours or days after you're discarded.
Please understand that I know men are victims of narcissistic women just as much as narcissistic men totally dominate and emotionally/mentally abuse the women that get caught in their vicious vicious cycle.
I'm so sorry to any man or woman in the middle of or trying to heal from that!! I don't wish that on anyone!! I was caught in it for almost 5 years. I know what it feels like.
Sending courage and hope and positive vibes to every woman and man whose life has been touched by one of these--monsters, for lack of a better word. I know "words" don't help too much, but let me say this:
Please take comfort in knowing it is NOT your fault, YOU did not do anything wrong, you ARE beautiful, strong, wanted, and needed, and you WILL get out of it when you're ready. Hang tough!
Love and light,
Tracy
