Song Information
By: D. Wolfert/S. Sheridan
Original Appearance: Dolly, Dolly, Dolly
Compilations: None
Alternate Versions: None

Well I've heard about it
That kind of need that keeps a person sleepless
All but dreaming just the same
And I read about it
How just the sight of someone leaves you breathless
But I never felt that way, now i feel it
I'm not so sure i like it
But I feel it consuming me

Chorus:

And it's agony, sweet agony
I ain't for you, I beg for you to set me free
From this agony, sweet agony
Who would've thought you'd take control so easily
Sweet agony, sweet agony, sweet agony

Did you have it planned out
To give yourself halfway and leave me wanting more
Right here on the brink
Well your time just ran out, I've got to have it all
What are you waiting for
I'm too afraid to think what this thing is
I'm not so sure I like it
The suspense is just killing me

Repeat Chorus

I want the real thing
Time that daydreams
And don't you tease me anymore
You've got the real thing
But you keep me waiting
I've never been through this before

Repeat Chorus

Fade:

I ain't for you, I beg for you to set me free
From this agony, sweet agony
Who would've thought you'd take control so easily
And it's agony, sweet agony
