lyrics

With cunning and charm you lined up your retreat
You always had me on the edge of my seat
There's a place and a time and you got neither of them right

So take these battered bones and
Break them with your stones and
Take me for all I have and
Leave me barely standing

You always got it right
Your words would keep me up at night
I never knew that this was in my blood
Until the day I finally understood

So take these battered bones and
Break them with your stones and
Take me for all I have and
Leave me barely standing

With cunning and charm you lined up your retreat
You always had me on the edge of my seat
