Lyrics
0:00Suddenly last summer
0:05I started going out of my head
0:10In a tiny hotel room
0:16Lying naked on a bed
0:22I knew what you were doing
0:24And I knew what you'd done
0:27Your life with me was ending
0:30Your new life had begun
0:32But I was cursing your name
0:38And I was cursing that room
0:43And I was praying for the strength
0:49To stop loving you
1:16I started writing you the letter
1:19Which turned into the book
1:22I was gonna reach across the ocean
1:25And force you to look
1:28But what kind of man was I
1:33Who would sacrify you happiness to satisfy his pride
1:39What kind of man
1:41Was I
1:44Who would delay your destiny
1:47To appease his tiny mind
2:12Then you came back to me
2:14And I went down on one knee
2:17With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth
2:23And I pushed out my tongue
2:25For you to see
2:28That I'd been dying of a thirst
2:31For your company
2:33Then you quenched my loneliness
2:37With your tears
2:39And our clothes fell away
2:42As we rolled back the years
2:45But we could't deny
2:50It because we could not admit it
2:56If our love was too strong to die
3:02Or we were just too weak to kill it
3:07Was our love too strong to die
3:13Or were we just too weak to kill it
3:40Every moment in that room
3:43I closed my eyes in prayer
3:51Every moment I awoke
3:54I clenched my teeth in prayer
4:02What kind
4:03Of man
4:05Was I
4:07Who would sacrify your happiness to satisfy his pride
4:13What kind of man was I
4:18Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind
4:24What kind of man was I
4:29Who could delay your destiny to appease his
4:34Aching swollen pride
4:41Who could delay your destiny to appease his screaming little mind
4:57You're mine
5:02You're mine
5:08You're mine
5:13You're mine
5:19You're mine
5:30You're mine
Suddenly last summer I started going out of my head In a tiny hotel room Lying naked on a bed I knew what you were doing And I knew what you'd done Your life with me was ending Your new life had begun But I was cursing your name And I was cursing that room And I was praying for the strength To stop loving you I started writing you the letter Which turned into the book I was gonna reach across the ocean And force you to look But what kind of man was I Who would sacrify you happiness to satisfy his pride What kind of man Was I Who would delay your destiny To appease his tiny mind Then you came back to me And I went down on one knee With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth And I pushed out my tongue For you to see That I'd been dying of a thirst For your company Then you quenched my loneliness With your tears And our clothes fell away As we rolled back the years But we could't deny It because we could not admit it If our love was too strong to die Or we were just too weak to kill it Was our love too strong to die Or were we just too weak to kill it Every moment in that room I closed my eyes in prayer Every moment I awoke I clenched my teeth in prayer What kind Of man Was I Who would sacrify your happiness to satisfy his pride What kind of man was I Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind What kind of man was I Who could delay your destiny to appease his Aching swollen pride Who could delay your destiny to appease his screaming little mind You're mine You're mine You're mine You're mine You're mine You're mine
