(Ooh, ah...) Oh, what's a devil to do? When those old delusions so tried and true don't come through Like they used to Ugh, all my money's run out I blew it all on a cumulus cloud That dissipated so fast Seems the good times never last And I Always fall flat on my back, like an upside down cat But is bad luck really such a crime? If you won't be my valentine, could you at least give me a little bit of sympathy? (Ah-ah-ah-ah) "Um..." "Um..." Oh, I made a silly mistake (what'd ya do?) I've given up more than I can take (uh-oh!) And left hollows in my wake (I'm safe, I'm whole, I've got it under control) My structure's compromised (I'm safe, I'm whole, I've got it under control) But you still batter at all my fault lines (And I will protect you, even if you won't protect me too) I can't run, I can't hide, but you can't say I didn't try To retreat back into me, like a catabolic seed I want to destroy everything that's mine If you won't be my valentine, could you at least give me a little bit of sympathy? (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Ba-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da Ooh, ooh Da-da-da-da I don't care if I'm losing myself in the garden of earthly delights I could drop dead right where I stand, I wouldn't mind (I, I, I wouldn't mind)
