Unofficial studio version 1
One, two
One, two, three, four
She'll let you in her house if you come knocking late at night
She'll let you in her mouth if the words you say are right
If you pay the price she'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car to go driving 'round
She'll let you into the parts of herself that'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart if you got a hammer and a vise
But into the secret garden don't think twice
You've gone a million miles, how far'd you get
That place where you can't remember and you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path, there'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough so you know she's really there
And she'll look at you and smile and her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden where everything you want
Where everything you need will always stay a million miles away
