Heart of my heart got to leave you today
You don't love me, and you can't understand
Cut by the thorn, oh, I must me loosing my grip
Got to let your flower fall from my hand
Down, put it, put it dow
Put it down, down, put it down, down, put it down
Go, let it, let it go
Let it go, go, let it go, go let it go
Mail, drop it in the mail
Drop it in the mail, drop it in the mail,
Drop it in the sauce, bottle up the sauce
Bottle up the sauce, bottle up the sauce

Love of my love,
you have made a mistake
Only saw the flaws and now you regret
My mind agrees that my belly is ablaze
I have swallowed all the words that you said
Down, put it, put it dow
Put it down, down, put it down, down, put it down
Go, let it, let it go
Let it go, go, let it go, go let it go
Mail, drop it in the mail
Drop it in the mail, drop it in the mail,
Drop it in the sauce, bottle up the sauce
Bottle up the sauce, bottle up the sauce
