I should try to be good
Forever and ever, amen
So Ill touch wood
And hope I dont get caught again
Without my lines
And off the mark
Looking for signs
I cant see here in the dark
My opening wont be a great success
Till you come get me out of
This little black mess
Ill play my part
And say never ever again
Then cross my heart
Cry until you say when
A little cheat while you turn away
Things we repeat one more time
Day after day
Ive lost my appetite so nonetheless
It fits like a glove now
My little black mess
Whos to say if well know
When its time for this old thing to go
And so if Im good
Could you forgive how Ive been?
You misunderstood
Now if youd just let me begin
To put on my face
Ill put on the room
Go take my place
One more time
Then we can resume
Its true Im sure to die out here unless
You come help me out of
This little black mess
