The Suffering

I saw the stars in your eyes And I knew it was puppy school love (...) You saw the twinkle in mine Then we both knew it was time to hold our breath (And run and get committed) We got lost in a sea of love and lust With a galaxy of trust (We were soon committed) To each other like a mussel in a clam To the movies to the mall glued together hand in hand And we walked and ran through loveland Everything was fine Until my baby took me for my very last dime Bang, bang, shoot me dead Thought my baby loved me but I'd been mislead My, my she sucked me dry Now the little missus wants to say bye bye Once I was a king Now I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring The engagement ring, the wedding ring The church bells ring And the suffering Understand I'm a man Who believes in the glory of love (You're a fool and a sucka) True love is the light shining bright From the Heavens, the Heavens above (You cold motherfucker) I believe, I believe it is better to trust Even when I'm wrong (Be careful you're my brother) Than to let my fear drive me From the home where I have belonged (... your mother) She was my queen to protect and serve Then she threw me a curve Skam skimmin' gold diggin' Kick me to the curb Bang, bang, shoot me dead Thought my baby loved me but I'd been mislead My, my she sucked me dry Now the little missus wants to say bye bye Once I was a king Now I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring The engagement ring, the wedding ring The church bells ring And the suffering The engagement ring The wedding ring The church bells ring And the suffering I know what they say on the street She's a cheat and a thief and a liar (And everybody knows it) But she's my light and my love and my hope And my only desire (You're anger can't control it) She broke the bank then she took my car That chick stole my heart Till death do you part Should have known from the start Bang, bang, shoot me dead Thought my baby loved me but I'd been mislead My, my she sucked me dry Now the hoochie mama wants to say bye bye Once I was a king Now I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring The engagement ring, the wedding ring The church bells ring And the suffering
