i wanna be the one you come to even when you don’t
want me to be the one you run to when everyone won’t
understand the way that you work baby, you’re bad to the bone
but i can’t keep myself away so maybe i simply won’t
i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
touch me in the places nobody else sees
want you to put your arms around me, know you’ll make me say please
you got me begging for your time and whatever you’ll give
baby if this isn’t real life then i don’t wanna live
don’t wanna have to say i’m sorry so i’ll just show you how
good i can be if you just ask me for it here and now
i know i shouldn’t want you so bad but you drive me insane
baby you’re bad to the bone and i am winning this game
i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
i see the way you look at me and you can’t change my mind
see the way you look at me, it’s got me feeling high
see the way you look at me and you can’t change my mind
see the way you look at me, i know that you know i
i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close
you know i love it when it hurts, baby, don’t get too close

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
