"Save it!"
She stopped and soberly said
"That sort of sexless exclamation simply don't stand or sit too well with me
So if you're gonna sell it better
Give it some melody, baby
Give it some melody, baby."
Oh!
And so I straightened my posture
I bent and belted my tones
And now we're cookin' with fire, babe, but I gotta say
I'm still amazed the way you barely blame yourself
Baby, I'm still amazed that there's always somebody else
And I'm still amazed you stomached it
I read your book, babe, cover to cover
You covet carelessly, then cleverly come clean incompletely
Completely leaving me believing
Even when I've seen the treason with my eyes
It's like you're some kind of goddamn sociopath
Oh!
Past the point of redemption
Painful, permanent scars!
Now we're cooking with fire, babe, but I gotta say
I'm still amazed the way you barely blame yourself!
Baby, I'm still amazed that there's always somebody else
And I'm still amazed the way you barely blame yourself
(Tell me, how did you stand the smell when you burned my body down?)
Baby, I'm still amazed that there's always somebody else
(Tell me, how did you stand the smell when you burned me?)
And I'm still amazed you stomached it
Oh!
Past the point of redemption
Painful, permanent scars!
(Give it some melody, baby
Give it some melody, baby
Give it some melody, baby
Give it some melody, baby.)
Now we're cooking with fire, babe, but I gotta say
I'm still amazed the way you barely blame yourself!
Baby, I'm still amazed that there's always somebody else
And I'm still amazed the way you barely blame yourself
(Tell me, how did you stand the smell when you burned my body down?)
Baby, I'm still amazed that there's always somebody else
(Tell me, how did you stand the smell when you burned me?)
I'm still amazed you stomached it
