Miriam

That's such a pretty name

I'm gonna say it when

I make you cry

Miriam

You know you done me wrong

I'm gonna smile when

You say goodbye

Now I'm not the jealous type

Never been the killing kind

But you know I know what you did

So don't put up a fight

Miriam

When you were having fun

In my big pretty house

Did you think twice?

Miriam

Was it a game to you?

Was it a game to him?

Don't tell me lies

I know he said it's not your fault

But I don't believe that's true

I've punished him from ear to ear

Now I've saved the best for you

And I'm trying not to hurt you

Cause you might not be that bad

But it takes a lot to make me go this mad

Oh Miriam

That's such a pretty name

And I'll keep saying it

Until you die

Miriam

You know you done me wrong

I'm gonna smile when

You say goodbye

You know you done me wrong

I'm gonna smile when

I take your life

Mmm, mmm, mmm

I like to play everything like this, don't know if its totally right though
