Crawled away from me
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothing I could say
Slid away from me
Crept away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothing I could say
What you trying to say?
Is you don't wanna play?
What you want and what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick a knife in
Crawled away from me
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothing I could say
Slid away from me
Crept away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothing I could say
What you trying to say?
Is you don't wanna play?
What you want and what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick a knife in
This is love
This is love
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love
Say you won't go
Get you in a stranglehold, baby
Can you, can you get away?
What you trying to say?
That you don't wanna play?
What you want and what you need
Don't make a fuck to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I’d stick a knife in
