Aaah! Aaah!

You came to me with all of your lies
And I was taking in so well
It took me quite a time to see the disguise
You made it very hard to tell
Now I hear you are again but you’re begging in vain
‘Cause I really don’t want to know
Aaah! Aaah!

You came to me with a little bit of charm
You had me down on my knees
I didn’t really think there was any harm
But all you ever did was tease
You took all the love that I ever had to give
There was nothing left to show
Aaah!

Well I remember everything, everything around me
The long dark winter ’til the breath of spring
Came close enough to drown me
So I’m gonna keep on trying
‘Til I feel like dying
And I lay down and pass away
But that won’t happen ’til tomorrow
And by then I can borrow another day
So I’m gonna keep on trying, yeah

You came to me with a little bit of charm
You had me down on my knees
I didn’t really think there was any harm
But all you ever did was tease
You took all the love that I ever had to give
Well there was nothing left to show
Aaah!
