Love & Greed Lyrics

I want to tell you about something special
I want to tell you what makes men need
I think I'm talking 'bout what we all get into
I think I'm talking 'bout love and greed

You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love and greed

A man in love, willing to walk through fire
A greedy man like a moth to a flame
A man in love, willing to go half crazy
A greedy man likely to go insane

You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love and greed
To love and greed, to love and greed, to love and greed

So, the trap's been set and you've took the bait
You saw it all go down just a little too late
But now you're hooked and to your surprise
You saw how some of it was real and some was lies

But you're in too deep 'cause you care too much
And there's never been a cure for that as such
You could see prison bars or call it home sweet home
But like it or not, you're no longer alone

A man in love don't know what he's doing
A greedy man always says he does
A man in love sold his soul up the river
That's where a greedy man's soul always was

You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
'Cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love and greed
To love and greed, to love and greed, to love and greed
