Ahh
My leathers fit tight around me
My whip is always beside me
You want the same thing every day
I’ll teach you love a different way
You’ll learn to love me and my sweet pain

My love will drive you insane
Sweet pain, my love will drive you insane

And pain has got its reason
And if you don’t stop your teasin’, baby
I’m gonna show you now
You’ll get your lovin’ anyhow, anyhow
And you’ll get to love me and my sweet pain

My love will drive you insane
Ahh, sweet pain, my love will drive you insane

Ahh, you get to love me any way I say

You find it pleasin’, yes you do, yes you do
And I’m gonna show you now
You’ll get to love it anyhow, anyhow and
