MEAT LOAF - I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back lyrics

rate me

From the minute I turned and laid my eyes on you, I had no eyes of my own<br>I was blind to the world, you were too good to be true<br>But you were something to see, so very young and alone<br>And I still don’t believe the way you turned on me<br>Now where’s the girl that I knew? <br>I gave you somewhere to live and then somebody to love<br>You gave me nothing but trouble, man, I’ve been such a fool<br><br>You gave me nothing at all, now let me give it to you<br>You taught me how to be cruel, now let me try it on you<br><br>How do you abuse me, let me count the ways<br>How many hours in how many days<br>How does it amuse you, let me count the pain<br>How many rules breaking how many games<br><br>Chorus:<br><br>How do you abuse me, let me count the ways<br>How many hours in how many days<br>How does it amuse you, let me count the pain<br>How many rules breaking how many games<br><br>You got your ass out of gear and your soul out of whack<br>Go on and take all your stuff, don’t even bother to pack<br>In every way I want you out of my life<br>But I’ll kill you if you don’t come back, I’ll kill you if you don’t come back<br><br>In the pit of the night you used to pull me so close<br>And then you’d hold me so tight<br>And in the wink of an eye you used to give me it all<br>And with a kiss in the darkness you’d deliver the light<br><br>And in the pit of the night I hear you laughing so loud<br>I know you’re laughing at me<br>Oh ain’t it funny and sad the way I fell for your lies<br>The way I fell into love and then I begged to be free<br><br>You gave me nothing at all, now let me give it to you<br>You taught me how to be cruel, now let me try it on you<br><br>Chorus<br><br>Somebody bless all the girls in the sand on the beach<br>They’re dreamin’ of boys and staying just out of reach<br>Bless all the cheerleaders down on the track<br>They’re glistening like diamonds with sweat on their backs<br><br>Bless all the girls in the gangs on the street<br>They’re looking for danger and they’re holding their piece<br>Bless all the girls staying late after school<br>They’re playing with fire and oh they’re playing it cool<br><br>And bless all the shy girls who’re learning to dance<br>They stare in the mirror and they conjure romance<br>Bless all the girls who are always alone<br>They kneel down in prayer and they wait up by the phone<br><br>Bless all the homecoming queens of the night<br>They’re looking for magic in gymnasium lights<br>And bless all the girls who know what love is about<br>They try not to cry and then they try to put out<br><br>And bless all the homecoming queens of the night<br>They’re looking for magic in gymnasium lights<br>And bless all the girls who know what love is about<br>They try not to cry and then they try to put out<br><br>Somebody bless all these girls that I never have met<br>But damn you and curse you after all that you’ve done<br>You’re the one girl I’ll never forget<br>You’re the one girl I’ll never forget<br><br>Somebody bless all these girls and everything that they do<br>But damn me and curse me for still needing you<br><br>And I’ll kill you if you don’t come back<br><br>I’ll kill you if you don’t come back (repeats out)
