[Verse 1]
Well, I know she's waiting for me, yeah
Outside of society (yeah)
I know she's sailing for me, ooh, baby
Ran out of society, yeah, dance with me

[Chorus]
I said, heal me
Hear me
I got to confess
I'm one of the love, love, loveless

[Verse 2]
I know you're hungry for me
Love me, outside of society, yeah
I know you're hungry for me, believe me, baby, ow
Out of rhyme and subtlety, yeah

[Chorus]
I said, heal me
Hear me
I got to confess
That I'm one of the love, love, loveless
I know you got to heal me
Heal me
I got to confess
I'm one of the love, love, loveless

[Bridge]
Yeah, hopelessly we look into the barrel of a gun
We gotta pull ourselves together and make a plan ow!
Woah, yeah
No control, mama
One of the loveless, baby
Rockin' tonight (Woo!)
Oh yeah, yeah (Woo!)

[Verse 3]
Oh, drunk n' stupid n' naked, yeah
Love me, outside of society, yeah
Ooh, rancid, singin', lonely
Believe me, baby, ow
Drunken on sobriety, ooh yeah

[Chorus]
I said, well, heal me
Hear me
I got to confess
I'm one of the love, love, loveless
I said, hear me
Hear me
I got to confess
That I'm one of the love, love, loveless
Ah yeah
Love, love, loveless

[Outro]
Ooh, no control, mama
Waiting to be swept away (Ow!)
In your cold, black storm
No control

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
