Strum
D-DU-UDU
Take your tiny feet out of your mother?s shoes
Or there?s is going to be a terrible scene
It?s not just a lipstick drawn on crooked when they
Find how wicked we are
How wicked we have been
How I?ve been tempted
How you tripped at every step
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
Oh, how you tripped at every step
There?s a merry tune that starts in "I" and ends
In "You", like many famous pop songs do
You would sing along with little tell-tale staggers
While balancing on daggers
Thou they were killing you
You looked so deadly
As you tripped at every step
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
Oh, how you tripped at every step
And I would try to catch you anytime you call
Only you drank that potion and went out of control
There?s nothing to stop you so how can you fall
Let me take your hand
Put down that frying pan
Darkness would become me, underneath the table
As the fury raged around the house
Your despairing tread was angry and unstable
You never suspected
Just as this cartoon mouse
Went undetected
As you tripped at every step
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
Oh, how you tripped at every step
In another world of gin and cigarettes
Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye
Maybe that is why you find it hard to see me
And if you don?t believe me
Before you start to cry
"Don?t eve leave me."
As you tripped at every step
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
Oh, how you tripped at every step
Original tune is in D-Major!
