Oh, it takes my life away
To think of her as gone
Now I'm running down the maze
And I'm finding only wall

Blowing down the flame
To catch the burning wax
Now I'm running out of steam
Now watch this man collapse

You said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me what you find
And then I'll stay the whole night through
And I'll turn from sad to blue
Yes, I'm choking it to you
Yeah I'm choking it to you

Wish you'd think of me
The way I think of you
Well, I find it hard to breathe
'Cause now I know the truth

So what good would fingers be
If it weren't for diamond rings
Now I know you're leaving me
And I know that I'm no king
You said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me what you find
And then I'll stay the whole night through
And I'll turn from sad to blue
Yeah, I'm choking it to you
Miss I'm choking it to you

Go ahead now, tell them all about it

So what good would fingers be
If it weren't for diamond rings
Now I know you're leaving me
And I know that I'm no king
