Lyrics and translation
Original
I blocked the lights.
Followed a stranger past the vines.
There were flowers hanging birds of paradise.
Still this true nature was a disguise. I was hypnotized.
Then I felt a change.
There were winds a-racing and raging fast.
Then I sensed the danger from up behind.
When I turned to face it, to my surprise, a familiar vice.
Oh no, you know the two of us just can't be tamed.
Starting to think this thing is just a running game of love, but you imagine all the heaven's fame.
Starting to think this thing is an eternal flame that burns for us. I saw the signs.
I tried pretending I was blind.
Stayed so persistent with all my lies.
You grew suspicious, I couldn't hide.
You saw it in my eyes, so I turned away.
Too late, now it's on your face, now it's in my mind.
Can't fight the fate when it's right in sign.
Ain't no escaping, it all reminds me of when you were mine.
Oh no, you know the two of us just can't be tamed.
Starting to think this thing is just a running game of love, but you imagine all the heaven's fame.
Starting to think this thing is an eternal flame that burns for us.
You know I can't, can't stay away from your charm.
You and I always had a place we belong.
And I could try, but I, I just, I just can't stay away. Ay.
Oh no, you know the two of us just can't be tamed.
Starting to think this thing is just a running game of love, but you imagine all the heaven's fame.
Starting to think this thing is an eternal flame that burns for us.
