Louise  only  got from me innocent poetry
Although  she  played to not listen
But  still  I can hear myself speak as if no one else
Ever  could offer  the same
 Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
 Although so foolish and willing
 I said Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to
 Bow as the curtain went down
Coddle  some men,  they'll remember you bitterly
Fuck  'em, they'll come  back for more
I  asked my Louise  would she leave and so cripple me
Then  came a knock  at the door
 “I came for my woman,” he came with a razor blade
 Bound like us all for the ocean
 I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
 The man who would take her from me
 Some they saw in me innocent poetry
 Some, some they'll never be certain
 But still it's been written, a history of lovers
 Given and taken in ink
 Coddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly
 Cut ‘em, they'll come back for more
 I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
 Then came the knock at the door
 Louise came to rescue me; listen, the irony:
 Blood made her heart change its beating
 I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
 The man she found better than me
