Lyrics

The victim was a woman
A woman in her prime
The suspect was a lover
He had no alibi
The weapon was a phone call in the dead of night
You know, I never really thought you had it in you
The case continues
The suspect was a cruel, self motivated man
He held the victim's heart in the palm of his hand
The motive is a mystery, I'll never understand
The final cut went deep down to the very sinew
The case continues
Why did the blood stained sheets
That burned turn quite so cold?
My only crime was passion, wild and uncontrolled
If sex were an Olympic sport, we'd've won the gold
Oh, tell me that there's still a little love left in you
The case continues
The final cut went deep down to the very sinew
The case continues
The victim is in shock, there's not much more to say
The suspect made a smooth and silent getaway
The scars may slowly heal, but they'll never go away
I only hope that one day you understand
Just what I've been through
The case continues
I only hope that one day you understand
Just what I've been though
Oh, tell me that there's a little love left in you
The case continues
