Torture
Composer(s): Jackie Jackson - Kathy Wakefield
Performer(s): The Jacksons



It was on the street so evil
So bad that even Hell disowned it!
Every single step was trouble
For the fool who stumbled on it
Eyes within the dark were watchin'
I felt that sudden chill of danger
Something told me to keep on walkin'
Told me I should not have gone there

Baby, because you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life
I'm out, I'm walkin' the night
'cause I just canmt stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

She was up a stair to nowhere
A room forever I'll remember
She said as though I should have known her
Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?
Every little thing you find here
Is simply for the thrill you're after
Loneliness or hearts on fire
I am here to serve all masters

She said Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

And I still can't find the meaning, no!
No, no--ooh!--of the face I keep on seeing
Was she real or am I dreaming?
Did the sound of your name turn a wheel
Strike a flame in me?
A-hooo-hoo!

Baby, because you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life
I'm out, I'm walkin' the night
And I just can't stop this feeling!
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

She said Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

Will you call my name?
It's torture! 
Spread it from a flame
It's torture! 
Will you call my name?
It's torture!
Hey...
