We think about making a score

We think about a little bit more

While you suffer our selfish ways

While I look at your selfish face

Oh we can't think of anything else

So you suffer us alone on your shelf

Then you whisper your selfless praise

While you suffer our selfish ways


Oh, I'm sorry but we've gotta breathe

And I know it's not easy

Through all of these days

You chose my selfish ways

Oh, I know I'm not so sure

And I might not be so pure

But through all of these days

You suffered my selfish ways


And you love it!


Darling, I'll bring you fire wood

But I will burn your house down

(And I will follow him

I'll take his wood away)

Darling, I'll bring you fire wood

But I will burn your house down

(And I will follow him down

I'll take his wood away)


Oh yeah, we think about making a score

And we think about a little bit more

While you suffer our selfish ways

While I look at your elfish face

Oh, we can't think of anything else

So you suffer us alone on the shelf

And I'd be better, I'd be better, I'd be better...

If you let go of my tether


Oh, my darling, I'll bring you fire wood

But I will burn your house down

(And I will follow him down

I'll take his wood away)

Darling, I'll bring you fire wood

But I will burn your house down

(And I will follow him down

I'll take his wood away)


To the ground.


Oh, I'm sorry

Yeah, I really am

If I cut your heart to ribbons

I'm not really that kind of man


But you love it!


Oh, my darling, I'll bring you fire wood

But I will burn your house down

(And I will follow him down

I'll take his wood away)

Darling, I'll bring you fire wood

But I will only let you down

(And I will follow him

I'll take his wood away)
