(John Farrar)      Every night when you're as mean   As a ladder with a broken wrung   When I know you're sorry won't make it   From your heart to your tongue   There are nights when you keep pushing me   And I won't go on   'cause when I get mad enough darlin'   I will be standing my ground      But on a night like this I know I can't win   I know my soul will burn and blister   When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, oh, under my skin   When you slide your silky whisper under my skin      There are nights when every kiss   Is an order than I can obey   And I can taste the life comin'   From a mile away   There are nights when you keep holdin' me   But your arms are too tight   And I don't need what I want   'cause what I want just don't feel right       But on a night like this I know I can't win   I know my soul will burn and blister   When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, oh, under my skin   When you slide your silky whisper under my skin      Everywhere that I go I hear your name   Spoken in whispers, spoken in shame   In shame      But on a night like this I know I can't win   I know my soul will burn and blister   When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, yeah, under my skin   Come and slide your whisper under my skin   Come and slide your whisper under my skin   Under my skin, ooh under my skin   Come and slide your whisper (under my skin)
