Her hands clasped round my collar
She threatens me says
"I remember who you used to be"
Well I don’t deal with feeling comfortable
I don't deal with that at all
And he scraped a shell across my tongue
He scraped a shell across my tongue
To let the boy know he’s done wrong
"Wrong again",
He winks and fingers
The buttons on my cuffs
Well I don’t deal with feeling comfortable
I don't deal with that enough
And he scraped a shell across my tongue
He scraped a shell across my tongue
To let the boy know he’s done wrong
I’ll never lie again
Why would I lie to you?
Why would I lie?
