GRABBED HOLD OF YOUR COAT TAIL BUT IT COME OFF IN MY HAND,
I REACHED FOR YOUR LAPEL BUT IT WEREN'T SEWN ON SO GRAND.
BEGGED, PROMISED ANYTHING IF ONLY YOU WOULD STAY,
WELL, I LOST A LOT OF LOVE OVER YOU.
FELL DOWN TO MY KNEES AND I HUNG ONTO YOUR PANTS,
BUT YOU JUST KEPT ON RUNNIN' WHILE THEY RIPPED OFF IN MY HANDS.
DI'MOND RINGS, VASELINE, YOU GIVE ME DISEASE,
WELL, I LOST A LOT OF LOVER OVER YOU.
I BOOGIED IN THE BALLROOM, I BOOGIED IN THE DARK;
TIE YOU HANDS, TIE YOU FEET, THROW YOU TO THE SHARKS.
MAKE YOU SWEAT, MAKE YOU SCREAM, MAKE YOU WISH YOU'D NEVER BEEN,
I LOST A LOT OF LOVE OVER YOU.
