Interpret:

Suzanne Vega

Album:

Nine Objects of Desire

It won't do
to dream of caramel
to think of cinnamon
and long for you


It won't do
to stir a deep desire
to fan a hidden fire
that can never burn true


I know your name
I know your skin
I know the way
these things begin


But I don't know
how I would live with myself
what I'd forgive of myself
if you don't go.


So goodbye
sweet appetite
no single bite
could satisfy


I know your name
I know your skin
I know the way
these things begin


But I don't know
what I would give of myself
how I would live with myself
if you don't go


It won't do
to dream of caramel
to think of cinnamon
and long for you
