Once when I was all alone, I called you, and you weren't home My heart fell like a stone to the ground, to the ground, to the ground. Why, when morn had dawned on me, and anger grew like ecstasy, and leda threw the swan on me and I fell to the ground, to the ground
[Chorus] Oh, don't say "I want you", don't stay this way, Believe me, I wasn't trying to play the game where someone's to blame, I'll stay the same 'til you change your mind And you'll change your mind
I could have broken you, I should have spoken for you should have seen it was turning me on. Don't you know it's true? There are worse things, perverse things You should answer when the phone rings There are worse things I could do
Once when I was all alone, I could not find the telephone so instead I burned your pretty home to the ground, to the ground, to the ground.
