It's not always good, said the man with the tears in his eyes
My love has forsaken this foolish heart of mine
I'm lucky to love her but why must she leave me constantly
Tell me why has this cruel fate befallen me
She knows that I'll care for her, knows that I'll need her 'till the end of time
But rather she would plunge us into pantomime
It's not what it seems said the man with the blood on his hands
I tried to reason with her but she wouldn't understand
She said help me help me help me break away
So I gave her one good reason why she ought to stay
Now judge me or free me, love me or leave me, do what you will
But in the end it was she who had our love killed
You asked her to leave all the things she loves to do
Now she's with him not you
Blood red shoes on an afternoon yes you know it's not alright
Where and tell me whom will she be staying with tonight
Blood red shoes on an afternoon yes, you know it's bad news
Dressed to kill, there's no way to tell who she'll choose
Because she bangs and she does the things you'll tell her to
But take my advice, don't get too at ease, it might be over soon
She'll say help me help me help me break way
So you'll give her one good reason why she ought to stay
You'll plead guilty or innocent, say it was an incident, all very fine
At which point, dear god, I hope she'll come back to be mine
You asked her to leave all the things she loves to do
Now she's with him not you
