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

Oh, I don't deal with that at all

He scraped a shell across my tongue

He scraped a shell across my tongue

To let the boy know he’d done wrong

Well, he's done wrong

He's done wrong

He's done wrong again, he winks and

Fingers the buttons on my cuffs

Well, I don’t deal with feeling comfortable

Oh, 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’d done wrong

Well he's done wrong

He's done wrong

He's done wrong

And I’ll never lie again

Oh, why would I lie to you?

Why would I lie?

Why would I lie to you?

Why would I lie to you?
