lyrics

Darling, you know I would never hurt you,
and I wont treat you like a fool.
You know that I would never desert you,
or break any of your precious rules.

I hear you speak of your frustration,
which way to go, or this and that.
You promise me your self-deprication,
I know that’s not where it’s at.

You walk in your crimson robe and silver,
and your fourteen alley cats.
Your men all walk behind you.
I know that’s not where I should be at.

I know that there’s something about you,
and this time I know you’ll be mine.
I know you’re strong, I don’t doubt you,
but I ain’t wasting no more precious time.

You can hide in your silver box,
with your newspaper coat and blues.
I’ve got a key to every lock,
and your dummies can’t stop me from breaking through.
You know I know it’s true.

So come out from your library book
and your plastic keychain soul.
Take off your glasses and get a better look
Drag yourself out of your hole

‘Cuz I’m taking you anyway
and I ain’t holdin’ nothin’ back.
So you can get rid of your confusion
and lose your Tom and Jack.
