Command

If I could command you
I�d make you say something wonderful
Without even thinking
You couldn�t help yourself
You would open wide and dramatise
And tell me everything
I wouldn�t interrupt
If I could command you
And maybe I do, and maybe I do


But it�s all make believe in the steely dusk
While you�re quite unaware of my possessive thoughts
I keep it secret and wait for you, I�ll wait


If I could command you
You�d never keep other company
You wouldn�t even want to
Your eyes are just for me
There would be no need to keep a key
Or hide your shoes
You�d feel free anyway
If I could command you
And maybe I do, and maybe I do


But it�s all make believe in the steely dusk
While you�re quite unaware of my possessive thoughts
I keep it secret and wait for you, I�ll wait

If you could command me
I�d never ask the impossible
Or watch your every action
Or wouldn�t care at all
You would come and go, I�d never know
You beat me to the post
While I�d bring up the rear
If you could command me
And really you do, and really you do


And it�s all make believe in the steely dusk
While I�m quite unaware of your forbidden thoughts
You keep it secret and wait for me, you�ll wait


If I could, if I could, if I could, if I could
If I could, if I could, if I could, if I could
