She comes knockin' on my door
In the dead of night
I've heard that knock before
It used to feel so right

She's looking for a shoulder
To lay her head on
Talk it out till daylight
Till all the tears are gone

But I can't take it
I want to hold her, I know it's over
I want to do so much more than console her

When she comes crying to me
She comes crying to me
She comes crying to me
Crying to me

She got a man downtown
He's the one she left me for
I was the one who was crying
When she walked out that door

But when trouble goes down
I'm the one she always comes to see
But I can't take it
I smell her perfume and her desire
And I want to throw myself back in the fire

When she comes crying to me
She comes crying to me
She comes crying to me
Crying to me

My blood is pounding, my heart is racing
My blood is racing, my heart is pounding
And I don't hear a word she's sounding
I can't believe the torture I'm facing
Pacing, tracing
She left me to find herself and found herself in the arms of someone else
What can I do
The torture it puts me through
To know she used to be always here with
Temptation
She comes crying to me
Like a little lost child
Waking up from a nightmare
Night jasmine, the way it has been
