I saw the stars in your eyes

And I knew it was puppy school love

(...)

You saw the twinkle in mine

Then we both knew it was time to hold our breath

(And run and get committed)

We got lost in a sea of love and lust

With a galaxy of trust

(We were soon committed)

To each other like a mussel in a clam

To the movies to the mall glued together hand in hand

And we walked and ran through loveland

Everything was fine

Until my baby took me for my very last dime

Bang, bang, shoot me dead

Thought my baby loved me but I'd been mislead

My, my she sucked me dry

Now the little missus wants to say bye bye

Once I was a king

Now I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring

The engagement ring, the wedding ring

The church bells ring

And the suffering

Understand I'm a man

Who believes in the glory of love

(You're a fool and a sucka)

True love is the light shining bright

From the Heavens, the Heavens above

(You cold motherfucker)

I believe, I believe it is better to trust

Even when I'm wrong

(Be careful you're my brother)

Than to let my fear drive me

From the home where I have belonged

(... your mother)

She was my queen to protect and serve

Then she threw me a curve

Skam skimmin' gold diggin'

Kick me to the curb

Bang, bang, shoot me dead

Thought my baby loved me but I'd been mislead

My, my she sucked me dry

Now the little missus wants to say bye bye

Once I was a king

Now I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring

The engagement ring, the wedding ring

The church bells ring

And the suffering

The engagement ring

The wedding ring

The church bells ring

And the suffering

I know what they say on the street

She's a cheat and a thief and a liar

(And everybody knows it)

But she's my light and my love and my hope

And my only desire

(Your anger can't control it)

She broke the bank then she took my car

That chick stole my heart

Till death do you part

Should have known from the start

Bang, bang, shoot me dead

Thought my baby loved me but I'd been mislead

My, my she sucked me dry

Now the hoochie mama wants to say bye bye

Once I was a king

Now I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring

The engagement ring, the wedding ring

The church bells ring

And the suffering
