He could ask for her head on a platter
He could cut her down and hurt her where it mattered
He'd make her wait around
Leave her on just the edge of love
But if he called cryin
Then most ardently she'd come
And she'd justify that none of the hurt was on purpose
That he's a good guy and it really doesn't bother her that much
But if you took your time and looked her in the eye you'd know
That if he asked her then most ardently she'd go
She always found it easy to lose herself in someone else
Why is it so easy to forget your self respect when you're in love
He would call but she stopped picking up
And he gave his all just when she had had enough
And he finally understood all the good that he had
While she learned her worth and found that she deserved more than that
And if she stoops that low again
She knows that in the end he'll use her up
Fill his half empty cup at her expense
And if she asked then most ardently he'd go
