Some would stay down, I just have to try it He's a true sin, I don't really mind it Call him "my dear" with all his silver lining Still I can't say what he wants from me So now I just wait home in bed And when I think of us, I'm sad I'm just in the mood I'm in I'm just with the man I'm with I come and beg, you have to keep from tryin' I wanna do you, darling there's no hidin' We need a new start, make out, no more cryin' Know that my heart wants to say I do want him 'Cause he is capable of everything I do want him And how I love this ride we're in Thing with my man is, he keeps on lyin' Feels like quicksand, stories I don't buy Be my lifeguard, save me when I'm drownin' Still I do say, he is the one for me Then he says This stranger like he does And he prays like he prays And he talks like he talks And he's rude like he's shoed, he's Broke like I'm broke And he spits when he shits And he smokes all my smokes I am no angel, no, I'm hard to handle Rock the cradle, glad you didn't go Need you, my dear, keeping me out of trouble And now we have to find a way I do want him 'Cause he is capable of everything I do want him And how I love this ride we're in And now I tell him Why don't you save me? And now I tell him Come on, embrace me Oh you better stop us falling down Oh you better stop us falling down I do love him 'Cause we are capable of everything I do want him And how we love this ride we're in I do love him 'Cause we are capable of everything I do want him And how we love this ride we're in

Where you gonna go my bastard-boy? You're leaving with my skin, my carnal joy and When you said you loved me You sealed it with a bruise When you brush my lips You always paint them blue I'm fragile as my porcelain teeth Fragile, it's a fatal disease My life shatters too easily I'm fragile Why do you do this to me? To me Were you meant to be my medicine? I thought it set me free, but now it's done And trembling from addiction I crawl into your bed My body decomposed 'till only dust is left I'm fragile as my porcelain teeth Fragile, it's a fatal disease My life shatters too easily I'm fragile Why do you do this to me? To me To me I'm fragile as my porcelain teeth Fragile, it's a fatal disease My life shatters too easily I'm fragile Why do you do this to me?
