Lyrics
My love for you has slayed me
And laid me so low
Just what it was that made me surrender
I don’t know
A fierce non-puritanic, volcanic hot glow
Impossible to live in
‘Twas that which made me give in
Burthen
Something’s gotta happen
So let us take a sensible point of view
Let us do the things we have got to do
(Things I am hot to do)
Don’t let’s be caught nappin’
For it was fate that happened to pick on me
And that made me happen to pick on you
