I should try to be good
|
Forever and ever, amen
|
So I'll touch wood
|
And hope I don't get caught again
|
Without my lines
|
And off the mark
|
Looking for signs
|
I can't see here in the dark
|
My opening won't be a great success
|
Till you come get me out of
|
This little black mess
|
|
I'll play my part
|
And say never ever again
|
Then cross my heart
|
Cry until you say when
|
A little cheat while you turn away
|
Things we repeat one more time
|
Day after day
|
I've lost my appetite so nonetheless
|
It fits like a glove now
|
My little black mess
|
|
Who's to say if we'll know
|
When it's time for this old thing to go
|
|
And so if I'm good
|
Could you forgive how I've been?
|
You misunderstood
|
Now if you'd just let me begin
|
To put on my face
|
I'll put on the room
|
Go take my place
|
One more time
|
Then we can resume
|
It's true I'm sure to die out here unless
|
You come help me out of
|
This little black mess
|
