To do what I should do, to long for you to hear,
ch /ch
Open up my heart, and watch her name ap - pear,
A word for you to use, a girl without a cause,
ch /ch
A name for what you lose, when it was never yours,
Oh---, you! Doo'n, doo'n, doo!
The first time, baby, that I came to you,
Oh, I'd do things that you want me to,
The second time, baby, that I came to you,
Oh, you found... my love for you,
The third time, baby, that I came to you,
Oh--, hoh--, hoh---, ...I knew,
The last time, baby, that I came to you,
Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word!
The name the girl out - grew, the girl was never real,
ch /ch
She stands for your abuse, that girl is no i - deal,
It's a word for what you do, in a world of broken rules,
ch /ch
She found a place for you ...a - long her chain of fools,
Oh---, you! Doo'n, doo'n, doo!
The first time, baby, that I came to you,
Oh, I'd do things that you want me to,
The second time, baby, that I came to you,
Oh, you found... my love for you,
The third time, baby, that I came to you,
Oh--, hoh--, hoh---, ...I knew,
The last time, baby, that I came to you,
Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word!
Oh, how... you're flesh and blood,
Oh, how... you're flesh and blood,
Oh, how... you're flesh and blood,
Oh, how... you're flesh and blood!
