Miriam
That's such a pretty name
I’m gonna say it when
I make you cry
Miriam
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye

Now I'm not the jealous type
Never been the killing kind
But you know I know what you did
So don’t put up a fight

Oh, Miriam
When you were having fun
In my big pretty house
Did you think twice?
Miriam
Was it a game to you?
Was it a game to him?
Don't tell me lies

I know he said it's not your fault
But I don't believe that's true
I've punished him from ear to ear
Now I've saved the best for you
And I try not to hurt you
'Cause you might not be that bad
But it takes a lot to makе me go this mad

Oh, Miriam
That’s such a pretty name
And I’ll keep saying it
Until you diе
Miriam
You know you done me wrong
I'm gonna smile when
You say goodbye
You know you done me wrong
I’m gonna smile when
I take your life
