x2
        

Verse 1

I've always thought of you as my brick wall
Built like an angel, six feet tall
Six feet tall
And when you go away, I start to weep
You're too expensive girl to keep
Isn't it sweet?

Chorus

I don't know where to begin, living in sin 
How can we talk? Look where you've been
I've counted the nights, living in sin 
How can we talk? Look where we've been

Verse 2

Take my independent point of view
I've loosened my wallet, thanks to you
Don't do me any favours
Hark, the herald angels sting
Please repair my broken wing
Why won't you look at me?
I live and breathe

Chorus

I don't know where to begin, living in sin 
How can we talk? Look where you've been
I've counted the nights, living in sin 
How can we talk? Look where we've been

Living on peanuts ain't my scene
A shame that word rhymes with “mean”
