I've been in love with many a stranger
Knowing the danger, I've been in love
Say what I am, or, what you call me
Because what you call me, that's what I am

I've seen the world and all its fools, and I know the life
I've dipped into the bowl and I might try
I never needed anyone, especially your wife
But maybe that's the reason why

I'm not ashamed of being a fire
Bending like wire, that's what I am
You can treat me like any other
Maybe my mother never wanted a man

I've seen the world and all its fools
And I know the life
I've dipped into the bowl and I might try
I never needed anyone, especially your wife
But maybe that's the reason why

Pity
Pity
Pity, ahh
Pity
I'm not ashamed of being a fire
Bending like wire, that's what I am
You can treat me like any other
Maybe my mother never wanted a man

I've seen the world and all its fools
And I know the life
I've dipped into the bowl and I might try
I never needed anyone, especially your wife
But maybe that's the reason why

I've been in love with many a stranger
Knowing the danger, I've been in love
Say what I am, or, what you call me
Because what you call me, that's what I am

Pity
