From the recording Beauty & Menace
Lyrics
if, I said if that is
love is like a butterfly
this sorry bug of ours has only one wing
I watch it plummet to the ground
I see it wriggle and die
if you didn’t want a commitment
why’d you even open your trap
so we go ‘round and ‘round all over again
if you want me out of your life
you’ll have to draw me a map
and we stand here hand in hand
calling each other the coward
and we’re stranded in love’s labyrinth
where all the sweet young things get devoured
and you think you took me under your wing
and I thought I had your heart on a string
this little game of ours is losing its charm
to get some affection I’ve got to twist your arm
and I thought I had your brain on a chain
and you thought you had my soul in a cage
so we go ‘round and ‘round all over again
if you’d control your temper I would act my age
it’s not you, it’s me
it’s not me, it’s you
if it were meant to be
would we hurt the way we do
you think you’ve got me under your spell
when you hear the words
come out of my mouth
go ahead, I’ll be your Trilby
feed the lines to me
but you know that I don’t mean them
when they come back out
and we stand here eye to eye
wondering who’s under whose power
and we’re stranded in love’s labyrinth
where all the sweet young things get devoured
