lyrics

A gun made out've her finger and thumb
She said"Stick your hands up, give me all your loving"
I couldn't resist that smile, those hips
I was bewitched by the empress
To give my all, to spend my life
To call you honey, sugar, wife
My love, my love, my love, my love
I guess I wasn't man enough
I didn't know it'd end like this
I was bewitched by the empress

I played the fool, then played it off
My love, my love, my love, my love
Mr. Cool til you lost it all
My love, my love, my lover loves me

if no one else cares, why should I care?
by Good Good Blood
