She sang for me, her heart on her tongue
She sang so pretty
She danced for me, her heart on her hips
She danced so fine
She said "Oh, a sweet sweet man like you,
What can I do for you?"
I said "A sweet sweet man like me
I can only bring you the misery"

I lay awake that night, listening to her breathing
Thinking how strange it would be
If I awoke and she wasn't there
I can feel myself, feel myself changing
No longer me, I was only a part of her

She said "Oh, a sweet sweet man like you,
What can I do for you?"
I said "A sweet sweet man like me
I can only bring you the misery"

So they put me down, back where I started from
But where I started seems so high
I start to climb
