I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say it's me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

At [bad word] 
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand... ecch!
It's here that I must be.
My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
 [bad word] and trample me.

Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony.
My soul is on fire,
It's aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire when we tango.

You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love,
I can feel the pain yet, love,
Ev'ry time I hear [bad word] 
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love,
With the thorns underneath, love,
Sticking into your gums.

Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the masochism tango.

Bash in my brain
And make me scream with pain
Then kick me once again
And say we'll never part.
I know too well
I'm underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning - it's my heart.
Hic! Excuse me.

Take your cigarette from its holder
And burn your initials in my shoulder,
Fracture my spine
And swear that you're mine
As we dance to the maso... chism tango.
