Leave your house keys in my door And they'd fit because you want them to Such coincidence, it always befalls you It gets so far beyond comedy that
How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane now ? Could you just have a heart ? Give me an ounce of your cruelty, could you
There's a whistle in the street There's a night so cloaked with secrecy But I'm keeping my nose clean I've drawn the curtains closed Until it's summer and these crickets wake me
And your breath will light the dawn But you'll wake up with a thorn in your side Hey it's only me, you should turn it around And wake me up with your cruelty

Give me an ounce of your cruelty And you'll leave it alone and let it rot An ounce of your cruelty means You'll stay at home And deprive me of your pleasure Hey could you do that ?
