[Intro]

Be my valentine, be my valentine

Be my valentine, be my valentine

[Verse 1]

I'm a tinderbox

You’re a spark

Shapes and shifting shadows feed across the dark

Hear your prisoner

Calling 'truce'

You have chained my heart

And I can’t cut you loose

[Chorus]

Dangerous games with tinder sticks

Making the oil and the water mix

This is a problem I can't fix

Be my valentine, be my valentine

Be my valentine, be my valentine

Be my valentine, be my valentine

[Verse 2]

I'm a carpenter

You're a gun

See I built the gallows that I'm walking on

So I'll volunteer for the blame

You have chained my heart

And I'm not shamed

[Chorus]

Dangerous games with tinder sticks

Making the oil and the water mix

This is a problem I can't fix

Be my valentine, be my valentine

I couldn’t cut you loose

You are my love and my hangman’s noose

This is the ? that needs a truce

Be my valentine, be my valentine

Be my valentine, be my valentine

Be my valentine, be my valentine

[Bridge]

Be my valentine, be my valentine

Be my valentine, be my valentine

Be my valentine, be my valentine

[Outro]

I couldn't cut you loose

You are my love and my hangman’s noose

This is the ? that needs a truce

Be my valentine, be my valentine
