Oh lady fair, your stranglin' hair
Ribbons 'round my tongue
I try to speak, my thoughts grow weak
From all the yarns you've spunI heard them say that evil may
Walk in beauty's shoes
But if ever I could love myself
Then I'll stop loving youWere you out the other night
Flirting with all my friends?
I heard you told a joke or two
With my name at the end
Well, come 'round home, i'm all alone
And tell me that just ain't true
But if ever I could love myself
Then I'll stop loving youWhen you're gone, I'll carry on
It's never meant to last
I'd much prefer to sit alone
And drink about the past
So I say "some how, some way"
Till I believe it's true
But if ever I could love myself
Then I'll stop loving you
