Everyonell Let You Down

you call me sugarbaby but do

you swear

do you swear, do you swear

you call me sugarbaby but do

you swear

do you swear on that

and would you want to take a

bible oath

and would you want to tell the

holy ghost

would you put your faith in

standing me by

darling would you testify

are you full with truth or full with lie

would you cross your heart and

hope to die

stick a pin needle in your eye

baby would you lie

you call me sugarbaby but do

you swear

do you swear on that

when the knife comes down will you

turn to go

will you fold like the rose of Jericho

sing my love song on your knees

do you pray to God or pray to me

is your rosary made of loyalty

is your cross made of veracity

would you offer your soul to the sky

baby would you lie

you call me sugarbaby but do

you swear

do you swear, do you swear

you call me sugarbaby but do

you swear

do you swear on that

and so many lovers have left

a space

'tween things they do and things

they say

a promise left to dangle gets

scratched and frayed

words get tangled and

memories play

so many lovers have gone this way

trying to keep their hounds at bay

how the earth got tender and hell

did crack

when Dante wanted his

Beatrice back

so would you want to take that

bible oath

and would you want to tell the

holy ghost

cross your heart and hope to die

baby would you lie

you call me sugarbaby but do

you swear

do you swear, do you swear

you call me sugarbaby but do

you swear

do you swear on that
