Patrick J.

He holds "hell-fire" and the devil's in his eyes.
He gives me passion and a love in tight disguise.
I doubt him and I hate him.
And I (only) wonder if I love him.
Patrick J., he's my man.

He gives me pleasure and then he takes it all away.
He teases me, taunts me with his eyes.
(They're clear, cool gray.)
I don't respect him.  I don't trust him.
And I wonder if I love him.
Don't leave here Patrick J.

Time's coming close now.
Goodbyes are here.
Made him the promise
That there won't be a tear.

His lips are soft but only harsh words I hear.
His arms are strong.  His embraces I fear.
I feel the cold and I feel warm.
And I only wonder if he loves me.
Patrick J. please stay.

Time's coming close now,
Goodbyes are here.
Made him a promise
That there won't be a tear.

He holds "hell-fire" and the devil's in his eyes.
He gives me passion and a love in tight disguise.
I feel the cold and I feel warm.
And I (only) wonder if I love him.  I love him.
Oh, Patrick J., he's my man.  He's some man.  He's my man.
You are listening to a recent live recording.
