The Jackson 5 - Torture

It was on a street so evil, so bad that even Hell disowned it
Every single step was trouble for the fool who stumbled on it
Eyes within the dark were watching, I felt the sudden chill of danger
Something told me, "Keep on walkin'", told me I should not have come there

Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life
Alone, I walk in the night 'cause I just can't stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

She was up a stair to nowhere, a room forever I'll remember
She stared as though I should have known her
Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?
Every little thing you find here is simply for the thrill you're after
Loneliness or hearts of fire, I am here to serve all masters

She said reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life
And merciful is the night when you just can't stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture And I still can't find the meaning, no (No, no)
Of the face I keep on seeing
Was she real, or am I dreaming?
Did the sound of your name turn a wheel, start the flame in me?
(Hoo, hoo!)

[Solo]

(Hee, hee!)

Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life
Alone, I walk in the night 'cause I just can't stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

When you call my name
(It's torture)
It's heading 'round the flame
(It's torture)
When you call my name
(It's torture)
Hey
(It's torture, it's torture, it's torture)
When you call my name
(It's torture)
Yeah, we would have planned
(It's torture)
We gonna need
(It's torture)
Hey
