   GDarling, (320003@1)believe me

So here it is your heart's out in the cold
The friends you kept still call you on the phone
The vicar said it's wrong but hey, what does he know?
He said it's wrong but that the Lord forgave me
Well, I don't want his pity and your scorn
Boy, why you preaching? 
No one's listening anymore
That life of yours sickens me directly to my maternal core
No man alive has earned the right to save me

No, this can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be will never find the words
Darling, believe me


Now here I am. I'm pushing 24
I've got a house and a little terrace on the lawn
My baby's grown
 and I'm as happy as a fawn
Now only the beauty of the world delays me

No, this can't go on
Your advice for young mothers to be
will never find the words
Darling, believe me

C (x32010@1)               AmNo, (x02210@1)this crown of thorns
