lyrics

I liked what you saw when you said I'll not forget you
I was a glass of water in the bar where I first met you
Up on a pedestal, you said
"you're the girl I've been dreaming of
and you are innocent in everything concerning love"
Well, maybe I am? Maybe I don't know?

I had to point it out that my fingernails were dirty
I said-I'm a gardener
you said - that's cute and girly
But I like to dig up weeds, especially when they're under the surface
I wasn't drunk that night but you know that wasn't on purpose

In my sober state, I told you about the things I'd done
I shot my old man with a .38 gun
I buried him in the garden, dug that hole right down to hell
you're not a killer - you said - just a girl who can't aim well
Well, maybe I am? Maybe I don't know?

You said - I want to take you dancing - would you come with me?
You saw innocence when I said - I can only lead
You said - I'll follow you until you are good and brave
I said - if you follow me boy, you'll be following me right to your grave

I liked what you saw when you said I'll not forget you
I was a glass of water in the bar where I first met you
up on a pedestal, you said - you're the girl I've been dreaming of
(up on the bar stool, I warned you what I was capable of)
You said - you're innocent in everything concerning love
So I guess I'm innocent as I'm washing off your blood?
Well, maybe I am? Maybe I don't know?
