 2x
 1.
oh  lady fair  your stranglin’  hair  ribbons  round  my tongue
I  try to speak  but my thoughts  grow weak  for  all the yarns  you’ve spun
 I heard  them say that evil may  walk  in beauty’s  shoes
well  if ever I  could love  myself  then  I’ll stop loving  you
 2.
were  you out  the other  night  flirting with all  my friends
I  heard you told  a joke  or two  with my name  at the end
hurry  home I sit  in stone  tell me it just ain’t  true
well  if ever I  could love  myself  then  I’ll stop loving you
 2x
 3.
when  you’re gone  I’ll carry on it  was never meant  to last
and  I’d much prefer  to sit  alone  and drink about  the past
 or so  I say some how  some way  till I believe  its true
well  if ever I  could love  myself  then  I’ll stop loving  you
