To do what I should do 
To long for you to hear 
I open up my heart 
And watch her name appear 
A word for you to use (ooh-oh) 
A girl without a cause 
A name for what you lose 
When it was never yours (oh-oh do-do-do) 

The first time baby that I came to you 
For I'd do things that you want me to 
The second time baby that I came to you 
For oh you found my love for you 
The third time baby that I came to you 
Oh, oh, oh, I knew 
The last time baby that I came to you 
Oh how your flesh and blood became the word 

A name the girl outgrew 
The girl was never real 
She stands for your abuse 
The girl is no ideal 
It's a word for what you do (ooh-oh) 
In a world of broken rules 
She found a place for you 
Along her chain of fools (oh-oh do-do-do) 

The first time baby that I came to you 
For I'd do things that you want me to 
The second time baby that I came to you 
For oh you found my love for you 
The third time baby that I came to you 
Oh, oh, oh, I knew 
The last time baby that I came to you 
Oh how your flesh and blood became the word 

Oh how 
Your flesh and blood 
Oh how 
Your flesh and blood 
Oh how 
Your flesh and blood 
Oh how 
Your flesh and blood 
Oh how 
Your flesh and blood 
Oh how 
Your flesh and blood 
Oh how 
Your flesh and blood (blood, blood, blood, blood) 

Oh (oh) how (how, how, how, how) 
Oh (oh) how (how, how, how, how) 
Oh (oh) how (how, how, how, how)
