You took the word lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth?
Yes
Will he offer me his teeth?
Yes
Will he offer me his jaws?
Yes
Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
Again, will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
And will he starve without me?
Yes
And does he love me?
Yes
Yes
On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Yes
I bet you say that to all the boys

It was a hot summer night
And the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
When I listen to your heart
I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands

You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there’s not another moment
Not another moment, not another moment to waste

You hold me so close that my knees grow weak
But my soul is flying high above the ground
I’m trying to speak, but no matter what I do
I just can’t seem to make any sound

refrain:
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh-it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it’s true
I was just about to say I love you (love you)
(2x)

Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I’m beginning to grin
Oooh, we’re finally alone and we can do what we want to
The night is young
And ain’t no one gonna know where
No one gonna know where, no one’s gonna know where you’ve been

You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there’s not another moment to waste

refrain

And then you took the words right out of my mouth
(It must have been while you were kissing me)

You took the words right out of my mouth
(It must have been while you were kissing me)
(7x)

You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
(3x)

You took the words right out of my mouth

Spanish Lyrics Version 

[Introducción hablada: Jim Steinman y Marcia McClain]

En una calurosa noche de verano, ¿ofrecerías tu garganta al lobo de las rosas rojas?

¿Me ofrecerá su boca?

sí

¿Me ofrecerá sus dientes?

sí

¿Me ofrecerá sus mandíbulas?

sí

¿Me ofrecerá su hambre?

sí

De nuevo, ¿me ofrecerá su hambre?

¡Sí!

¿Y morirá de hambre sin mí?

¡Sí!

¿Y me ama?

sí

sí

En una calurosa noche de verano, ¿ofrecerías tu garganta al lobo de las rosas rojas?

sí

Apuesto a que le dices eso a todos los chicos

[Verso 1]

Era una calurosa noche de verano

Y la playa estaba ardiendo

Había niebla arrastrándose sobre la arena

Oh, cuando escucho tu corazón

Escucho a todo el mundo girar

Veo caer las estrellas fugaces

A través de tus manos temblorosas

Estabas lamiendo tus labios

Y tu pintalabios brillando

Me moría solo por pedir una probada

Oh, estábamos acostados juntos en un rayo de luz

A la luz de la luna

Sabes que no hay otro momento

No otro momento

No es otro momento que perder

Oh, bueno, me abrazas tan cerca que mis rodillas se debilitan

Pero mi alma vuela muy por encima del suelo

Estoy tratando de hablar pero no importa lo que haga

Parece que no puedo hacer ningún sonido

[Coro]

Y luego sacaste las palabras de mi boca

Oh debe haber sido mientras me besabas

Me quitaste las palabras de la boca

Oh, y te juro que es verdad

Estaba a punto de decirte te amo (te amo)

Y luego sacaste las palabras de mi boca (aah)

Oh debe haber sido mientras me besabas

Sacaste las palabras de mi boca (aah)

Oh, y te juro que es verdad

Estaba a punto de decirte te amo (te amo)

[Verso 2]

Ahora mi cuerpo tiembla como una ola en el agua (aah)

Y supongo que estoy empezando a sonreír (aah)

Oh, finalmente estamos solos y podemos hacer lo que queramos (aah)

Oh, la noche es joven (aah)

Y nadie sabrá dónde estás

Nadie sabrá dónde estás

Nadie sabrá dónde has estado

Estabas lamiendo tus labios (aah)

Y tu lápiz labial brillando (aah)

Me moría solo por pedir una probada (aah)

Oh, estábamos acostados juntos en un rayo de luz (aah)

A la luz de la luna (aah)

Sabes que no hay otro momento que perder

[Coro]

Y luego sacaste las palabras de mi boca

Oh, debe haber sido mientras me besabas

Me quitaste las palabras de la boca

Oh, y te juro que es verdad

Estaba a punto de decirte te amo (te amo)

Y luego sacaste las palabras de mi boca (aah)

Oh debe haber sido mientras me besabas

Sacaste las palabras de mi boca (aah)

Oh, y te juro que es verdad

Estaba a punto de decirte te amo (te amo)

[Gancho]

Y luego sacaste las palabras de mi boca (debe haber sido mientras me besabas)

Oh, me sacaste las palabras de la boca (debe haber sido mientras me besabas)

Oh, me sacaste las palabras de la boca (debe haber sido mientras me besabas)

Oh, me sacaste las palabras de la boca (debe haber sido mientras me besabas)

Ah, me sacaste las palabras de la boca (debe haber sido mientras me besabas)

Oh, me sacaste las palabras de la boca (debe haber sido mientras me besabas)

Oh oh- sacó las palabras de mi boca (debe haber sido mientras me besaba)

Woah- sacó las palabras de mi boca (debe haber sido mientras me besaba)

[Outro]

Oh, me sacaste las palabras de la boca

Woah, debe haber sido mientras me besabas

Me quitaste las palabras de la boca

Oh, debe haber sido mientras me besabas

Me quitaste las palabras de la boca

Oh, debe haber sido mientras me besabas

Me quitaste las palabras de la boca

Woah, debe haber sido mientras me besabas
