Lyrics:
We’re standing in the rain
And sipping cold champagne
The night is full of angels of sin –
The demons of pleasure and pain
You whisper in my ear
I’m holding back the tears
Your words are burning the way to my heart
That’s been held hostage for years
The wild look in your eyes
Will light my fire inside
This is the night that we cannot deny
We’ll always be partners in crime
I kiss your lips so sweet
Do you feel the heat
Is it so wrong to be hungry for love
To follow the passion so deep
The wild look in your eyes
Will light my fire inside
This is the night that we cannot deny
We’ll always be partners in crime
The wild look in your eyes
Will light my fire inside
This is the night that we cannot deny
We’ll always be partners in crime
Now it’s too late to turn back the time
We just have to go with the flow
I will be yours and you will be mine
And that’s how the story goes
The wild look in your eyes
Will light my fire inside
This is the night that we cannot deny
We’ll always be partners in crime
The wild look in your eyes
Will light my fire inside
This is the night that we cannot deny
We’ll always be partners in crime
Partners in crime…
Partners in crime…
