THE SUFFERING


I saw the stars in your eyes and I knew
It was puppy school love
You saw the twinkle in mine then we both knew
it was time to hold our breath

We got lost in a bliss of love and lust with a
galaxy of trust
we were soon committed to each other like a
mussel in a clam
for movies to mall glued together hand in hand

and we walked and ran through love land
everything was fine
until my baby took me for my
very last dime

Bang, bang shoot me dead
thought my baby loved me
but I had been misled

My, my she sucked me dry
now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye

Once I was king but now I'm wrapped around her finger
like a diamond ring

The engagement ring the wedding ring
the church bells ring and the suffering

understand, I'm a man who believes in the glory of love
(you're a fool and a sucker)
to love is the light shinin' back from the heavens, the heavens above
(you're wrong motherfucker)
I believe, I believe it's better to trust even when I'm wrong
(...for you my brother)
to let my fear dive deep from the home where I am alone

she was my Queen to protect and serve
then she threw me a curve
skam skimmer gold digger
kick me to the curb

Bang, bang shoot me dead
thought my baby loved me
but I been misled

My, my she sucked me dry
now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye

Once I was a king
now I'm wrapped around her finger
like a diamond ring

the engagement ring the wedding ring
the church bells ring and the suffering

I know what they say on the streets, she's a chick and a thiefin' lyer
(and everybody knows it)
but she's my light and my love and my hope and my only desire
she broke the back then she took my cause
that chick so stole my heart to let do your body sure you don't ...

Bang, bang shoot me dead
thought my baby loved me
but I been misled

My, my she sucked me dry
now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye

Once I was a king
now I'm wrapped around her finger
like a diamond ring

the engagement ring the wedding ring
the church bells ring and the suffering
