(Performed by Pam Tillis)

Once I had champagne at sunset
Breakfast in bed
And I hated myself for what I never felt
I couldn't love him

Then I had fire at midnight
Passion that brought tears to my eyes
It was like a joke,
I couldn't get enough,
but he didn't love me

Oh oh oh
I wanna know why I can't have both
Someone that soothes my heart and burns my soul
Something I can trust but I can't control
All I need is someone who brings me
Thunder and Roses
Thunder and Roses

I wanna be safe and warm
In a beautiful storm
With somebody who shakes me
And knows how to take me away from this world
Candles that burn all night
A lover that looks into my eyes
A man who loves me
And know how to touch me everywhere

I wanna know why I can't have both
Someone that soothes my heart and burns my soul
Something I can trust but I can't control
All I need is someone who brings me
Thunder and Roses
Thunder and Roses

I wanna know why I can't have both
Someone that soothes my heart and burns my soul
Something I can trust but I can't control
All I need is someone who brings me
All I need is someone who brings me
Thunder and Roses
Thunder and Roses
Thunder and Roses
Thunder and Roses

I wanna know...
I wanna know
Why I can't have both
I wanna know
Why I can't have both
That burns my soul
