Baby, my wrists are cut and bleeding,

And you're tightening your rope,

My mouth is dry, I'm suffocating,

Guess it's how loving you goes.



You knocked me right outta the saddle,

Where the desert sun sets,

And loving you is such a battle,

But I'm not giving up yet.



Even a noose couldn't tear me away from you,

Babe, it's no use - I'm loving you 'til I'm black and blue,

That's right - I said it,

Loving you 'til I'm black and blue,

Black and blue.



Chorus:

You got your lasso, lasso,

Tied around my neck,

Right above my heart,

That's barely beating for you,

I'm barely breathing now, too,

So, whatcha gonna do,

With your lasso, lasso.



Baby, my blood and sweat are dancing,

See how they're making me glow,

It's all because you're so entrancing,

This love won't let me go.



Even a noose couldn't tear me away from you,

Babe, it's no use - I'm loving you 'til I'm black and blue,

That's right - I said it,

Loving you 'til I'm black and blue,

Black and blue.



Chorus



See the way I won't look away,

See the way I stare at your face,

Doesn't matter what you try to do,

I'll be in love with you,

'Til my dying day, yeah.

Say the meanest things I ever heard,

Smiling as I listen to your words,

'Cause my heart is stuck to you,

Yeah, I'm stuck like glue,

No matter what you do, yeah.

I never learn from rope burn.



Chorus
