Why did you fall for an innocent?
|
An innocent like me?
|
Why did you fall for an innocent?
|
An innocent like me?
|
|
I know nothing will ever be
|
'Cos like, we don't give nothing away
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Call what you [crib] boy
|
But it's, it's not what you need
|
I know it's, it's not what you need
|
From a girl like me
|
Oh, and I wish that you could come in boy
|
And make me smile like rose on wood
|
It would be nice to take
|
A fortune from your flesh
|
And make it good
|
Make it really good
|
|
Why do the sonnets stake my heart?
|
I'm sworn to kiss and tell
|
I'm sworn to take the rose
|
Outta your hands and mould
|
My lies around you
|
Not being fickle
|
Or breaking this song
|
I made the sweetest thing you ever see
|
|
But I want to shake the world
|
And leave them standing
|
Not a queue for frivolity
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Wasted my time
|
Like [oil/all] rich sons
|
Like [oil/all] rich sons should do
|
Like [oil/all] rich sons
|
Oh, the hours are all gone
|
The hours are all gone
|
|
There's nothing wrong with a picture palace
|
A thousand knives have been drawn in
|
But I'm a dreamer with iron intent
|
And for pure cosmetics I could not care
|
|
(Chorus)
|
