You hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume

Oh, I do not fear you
And slave I only use
As a word to describe the special way I feel for you
You look like me

And I look like no one else
We need no other
As long as we have ourselves
But I won't cry about it

Every time you get obsessed
Every time I came undressed
All ugly thoughts are gone
I'm sure we'll all be friends

I'll try to break your back
You'll try to make amends
Curse softly to me baby
And smother me in your love

Temptation comes not from hell but from above
And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there

I can smile now
You won't find out ever
Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do

Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh I do not fear you
And slave I only use as a word to describe

The way I feel when I'm with you
If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about a slave/master relationship between two people where at some point the woman in the relationship makes a decision that she doesn't reveal to her lover (I can smile now You won't find out ever Hurt me baby I flinch so when you do) I am thinking it could be she was pregnant (not far along for him to notice) then she aborted the baby or she had an affair with someone close to him and never told him. Something she fears telling the guy cause he might end their relationship if he knew. (If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed) this last line is maybe the most telling, here is expressed how when she comes undressed with the person she's having an affair with she has to explain away the marks on her body (due to the slave/master relationship she's having with other lover) or it could refer to an explanation she has to give to her doctor when he gives her an exam.
