lyrics

Man-
I hate to stop what we started.
Leavin’ sweet peace for the fight.
But when Samuel calls to his nephews,
What choice have I but to reply…
You’re still the only good thing in my life.

Lady –
Oh, go to hell
You broke the spell
You threw it all away.
I guess I could care less if
I felt that I had some say.

You’re mind is made
Your hand’s been played,
You emptied out the tank.
Left me with nothing,
Broke my heart
And now you ask for thanks.

Your country needs you so go ahead and fight
Go be their hero, you sure as hell ain’t mine.
‘f you see my kerchief is cover’d with tears…
‘t’s not for your leaving, just all those wasted years.

I hope the cannons shake you.
I hope your courage fails.
I hope these men you fight with
See your knack for turning tail.

I cringe of past days, years ago,
when I was smitten so.
I know that charm is sinful,
I won’t trust you anymore, no…
