- Killing Time Lyrics / with translationsWhen you're pleasure seeking
I'm left killing time, it's a homicide, a ritual
Don't treat a human like that
You're very smart, you ignite my flame
After all is said and done
Baby, you're the only one
I don't get jealous
But when you say you love me
I only half believe
But baby, I could never leave
Right now is all I want, right here
Here is where you belong
With me as long as you stay with me
You'll see, I'm real good company
Sleight of hand
The way you play your tricks
You cheat on me all the time
But I turn my back
'Cos we had some good times
Here is where you belong with me
As long as you stay with me
You'll see, I'm real good company
I'm left killing time, it's a homicide, a ritual
Don't treat a human like that
You're very smart, you ignite my flame
After all is said and done
Baby, you're the only one
I don't get jealous
But when you say you love me
I only half believe
But baby, I could never leave
Right now is all I want, right here
With me as long as you stay with me
You'll see, I'm real good company
Sleight of hand
The way you play your tricks
You cheat on me all the time
But I turn my back
'Cos we had some good times
Here is where you belong with me
As long as you stay with me
You'll see, I'm real good company
