I never thought it could happen this way
And how it did oh no I couldn’t say
I watched you every single day
Baby don’t blame me now
I couldn’t help letting you know
Even though someday I knew you’d have to go
It didn’t stop me from letting it show
Baby don’t blame me now
So if you really want to know
I’ve got it bad, darling, I won’t let you go
But what am I supposed to do
Can you blame me for hanging on to you
When that day came, I said I wouldn’t cry
I told myself that I would have to try
But you didn’t even say goodbye
Baby don’t blame me now
So if you really want to know
I’ve got it bad, darling, I won’t let you go
But what am I supposed to do
Can you blame me for hanging on to you
I thought that I was history
When you shut the door on me
I cried so hard because
I didn’t know how wrong I was
So if you really want to know
I’ve got it bad, darling, I won’t let you go
But what am I supposed to do
Can you blame me for hanging on to you

You Scare Me

I wanna die (die die, I wanna die now)
Whenever you call me (die die, I wanna die now)
I cry (cry cry, I wanna cry now)
When you reach out for me
Cause you, you, you can't even see
No you can't see that you scare me
And I, I, I don't want to be just you and me
When you scare me
There is something that you're hiding
And I don't want to know just what it is
Cause I can't explain where this feeling came from
To make me go out of my mind
You can tell me, you can say it’s fine
But it won't stop me, it won't calm my mind
I wanna die (die die, I wanna die now)
Whenever you call me (die die, I wanna die now)
I cry (cry cry, I wanna cry now)
When you reach out for me
Cause you, you, you can't even see
No you can't see that you scare me
And I, I, I don't want to be just you and me
When you scare me
I recognize your hands and eyes
I've seen them once before when she told me
Beware (watch your back, watch your back, watch your back)
Beware (watch your back, watch your back, watch your back)
A man will come and he will change you
You can tell me, you can say it’s fine
But it won't stop me, it won't calm my mind
You can tell me, you can say it’s fine
But it won't stop me, it won't calm my mind
I wanna die (die die, I wanna die now)
Whenever you call me (die die, I wanna die now)
I cry (cry cry, I wanna cry now)
When you reach out for me
Cause you, you, you can't even see
No you can't see that you scare me
And I, I, I don't want to be just you and me
When you really truly scare
Oh you scare me

Memory Monster

There’s something here and it isn’t right
People are changing overnight
It’s in the air, he’s near somewhere
And when he’s gone, it’s not for long
Pack up the babies and lock the door
You’ve seen the shadow and heard the roar
He’s loose again and you don’t know when
He will strike, and he will strike
There is a monster with an appetite
Who gets his kicks and very strange delights
From stealing what you didn’t think you could lose
So watch your back and pray for who he will choose
He leaves them empty for all to see
They’re not the people they used to be
His victims are alive but their minds do not survive
His evil call, he takes them all
There is a monster with an appetite
Who gets his kicks and very strange delights
From stealing what you didn’t think you could lose
So watch your back and pray for who he will choose
His victims are alive but their minds do not survive
His evil call, he takes them all
There is a monster with an appetite
Who gets his kicks and very strange delights
From stealing what you didn’t think you could lose
So watch your back and pray for who he will choose
There is a monster with an appetite (his appetite)
Who gets his kicks and very strange delights (his strange delights)
From stealing what you didn’t think you could lose (you didn’t think you’d lose)
Better pray for who he will choose

One-Way Ticket to Hell
03:41

A two year marriage from a simple affair
In a one-bedroom house that doesn’t get much air
Said bye to my loves on my wedding night
And my new husband put me on the red-eye flight
Now I’m wife of a house that I don’t care to clean
This primal domesticity has made me so mean
But now for the story I’m about to tell
This is how I got my one way ticket to hell
A beautiful little secretary lingered at his work
Acting a little friendlier than just an office clerk
My husband started staying late at work every night
So I went to check and found that my suspicions were right
What, am I supposed to try
And sweep this under the rug?
I killed her
And then there was pretty Julie, the leggy babysitter
The way my husband looked at her made me want to hit her
And the dresses she would wear, I don’t even want to mention
So my hands around her throat staged a little intervention
If it were you, wouldn’t you do
The same exact things that I did?
I killed her
And then came busty Janice, the professional pianist
And skinny little Nina, the French dry cleaner
And who could forget Dolores, the fine exotic florist
I didn’t hesitate to get them all
My husband cried
When they each died
But no one ever found out it was me
Now some may call me evil, and some may say I’m mad
But I can’t hear their voices very well
It’s the love that made me this way, the jealousy that bought me
A one-way ticket to hell
A one-way ticket to hell
A one-way ticket to hell

I see in black and white
When I go out every night
And I’m always so polite
It’s only lady lady ladylike
Have a drink and I’m on the run
Polished up and dressed to stun
Come on and make me another one
Go on and shake it shake it shake it up
I’ve been this way and I wanna stay a classic girl
So I’m making my place in the modern world
Sidecars in the dressing room
All my boys and my ladies too
We’re gonna take the stage soon
And show em show em how it’s done
So if you really want to be
Stuck in another time with me
Come on and do a little dance you’ll see
You’re gonna live it live it live it up
I’ve been this way and I wanna stay a classic girl
So I’m making my place in the modern world
Cause I need a time and place that is home for me
Yeah right here and now is where it’s gotta be
If you really really wanna be
If you really really wanna be
I’ve been this way
I wanna stay a classic girl
So I’ma make my place in the modern world, world, world, yeah
Cause I need a time and place that is home for me, yeah
Right here and now is where it’s gotta be
