He whispered
He had to tame her
Then forgave her
Did you know her?
He whispered
Did they embrace her? Oh . . .
Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God
Oh, God
She won't be there with a rattle [Repeat: x 4]
I lost her
He christened
We obtained her
But I erase her
I'll pay for her wayward eyes
I'll pay for her wayward eyes
Oh, God [Repeated numerous times]
She won't be there with a rattle [Repeat: x 3]
She won't be there with a rattle [Repeat: x 4]
