Hannah Fury was born in a land of glittering white snow and dark, foreboding forests. When she was five years old, she moved to a land of perpetual sunshine and reflective sand. Though she enjoyed this new environment and found it beautiful in a conspicuous sort of way, she missed the cryptic and mercurial quality of her homeland. As she grew older, Hannah became increasingly aware of the disparity between her inner world and that of the "real" one which surrounded her. To counteract the effects of this fractured existence, she began to dabble in the occult, the extrasensory, and the covert. Her efforts consisted mainly of attempting (mostly unsucessfully) to summon spirits, to levitate objects, and (with a higher rate of success) to concoct formulations for invisible ink. She became adept at code breaking and espionage as well as numerous other activities of questionable value. During all of her formative years, Hannah also took refuge in books, immersing herself in fantasy worlds and the enviable lives of others. By the age of ten, she had read every Nancy Drew mystery and every torrid Harlequin romance novel ever published, as well as a substantial selection of classic literature. When she was 14, Hannah fell in love and was unable to concentrate on anything else for the next several years. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), when she was 16, "The Vampire Waltz" first appeared to her in its spectral form. Unlike other fragmented melodies that she had previously received, this one came complete with words and a title. Hannah soon became aware that this was not an ordinary transmission, for, unlike the others, "The Vampire Waltz" did not retreat into obscurity after a reasonable amount of time had passed. In fact, the opposite occurred, and the song's presence became so persistent that it soon overwhelmed Hannah's thoughts entirely. It was then that she decided she would do whatever was necessary to give this apparition a more solid existence, and so she began diligently to teach herself to play the unassuming upright piano that stood against a wall in her parents' home. Learning to play was a time-consuming and laborious process. Hannah never played when other family members were around, primarily due to a marked lack of technical skill which caused great consternation and bewilderment to those unfortunate enough to be within range of hearing. This made practice a rare, though impassioned (and noisy), occurrence. These clandestine moments of discord were snatched here and there, and after a few years, and despite the aforementioned absence of methodological refinement, she had become proficient enough on the instrument to complete "The Vampire Waltz" as she heard it in her mind. The obsessive psychic gates having thus been wrenched open, subsequent songs were composed quickly by any standards, and an increasingly confident writer began to emerge. Still, yet another year would pass before anyone would hear Hannah's collection of musical and lyrical creations. Secretive by nature, and aware of the potential cringeworthiness of discussing "art," Hannah desperately wanted to protect this most personal and important of endeavors. At the start of the 1990s, Hannah was fortunate to meet a kindred spirit. She fell in love once again, and it was this trusted individual who became the first to hear Hannah's music. As a result of the encouragement she received, Hannah began to imagine, in hopeful delirium, the possibility of allowing others to hear her songs. Believing, as was the fashion of the day, that she needed financial and creative support from outside sources, Hannah recorded a four-song demo tape and sent it to several small recording companies who proceeded to ignore it utterly and without ceremony. Dejected but undeterred, Hannah continued to write songs, some of which would later become her critically acclaimed EP Soul Poison. Constantly plagued by self-doubt, Hannah found this period to be a difficult one. Her devoted friend rescued her once again by arguing that music was indeed her "calling," and by pointing to the evidence of a growing catalogue of songs that had come to her fully formed, as if from out of the ether, seemingly with little or no effort exerted on her part. Citing an entry in the Encyclopedia of Mystical and Paranormal Experience, he implored Hannah to realize that the descriptive text within that hallowed tome mirrored her own creative episodes almost exactly. Thus convinced, and with a growing suspicion that she was unsuited to anything else, Hannah began to feel that perhaps she was indeed fated to this life. And so, she sought alternative methods of reaching the public with her music. The timing was felicitous. Relocating to Austin, Texas, had allowed Hannah to witness the wonder that is Daniel Johnston. Being a devout listener of his renowned home-recorded tapes, Hannah was now able to see Daniel perform his music at small, intimate venues, and was all the more inspired by this brilliant artist, who had long been one of her songwriting heroes and who epitomized the do-it-yourself ethic. Coinciding with this was the release of Lisa Germano's Geek the Girl, a glorious work which was reported to have been recorded by Lisa and friends on ADAT recording machines at her home. Technology and inspiration thus in place, Hannah set out to build her own recording studio. She purchased an eight-track sound recording machine, a small sound mixer and a microphone. This new equipment took up residence alongside a previously purchased digital piano in the small apartment which Hannah occupied at the time. With her periods of depression and hopelessness now often tempered by insufferable bouts of narcissism, Hannah got to work. During a few weeks in early 1998, she recorded her debut EP, Soul Poison, which was received most enthusiastically by the music press. Encouraged by the positive response, Hannah began recording her follow-up full-length CD, The Thing That Feels. Released in October of 2000, The Thing That Feels has received high critical praise and garnered Hannah's work a loyal and obsessive cult following. Nestled at the end of The Thing That Feels is "The Vampire Waltz," an eight-minute anti-lullaby of love, possession and the loss of innocence. It is the song that put Hannah on her path and changed her life from one of arbitrary misery to one full of meaning, metaphor and personal mythology. It is this song that Hannah believes came sweetly to her rescue and to determine if she was deserving of the music that was to follow.

The thing that feels
*** Thanx a lot to the Official Hannah Fury's Website for most of these lyrics, you can also buy all these CDs at this official website cheaper *** Not like you Giant-Size Man-Thing number four You are Eleanor Don't say a thing For me or for him Just pretend You are our friend Until the end Don't speak, don't speak Don't speak, don't support Just quietly abhor me The thing that feels And is not like you Don't speak, don't speak Don't support Just quietly abhor me The thing that feels And is not like you I am not like So what if you don't like me And you don't care how I feel So what if you can't see me I know I am really here So what if you don't believe in me Do you really think I care So what if you don't believe in me I know I am really real I know I am the real thing Don't speak, don't speak Don't support Just quietly ignore me The thing that feels And is not like you I am not like you I am not like you I am not like you I am not like you Love today Rest assured I remember every word I remember all I heard And that summer All the joy went away All that I had to say For love of life Don't say goodbye For love of life Don't say goodbye So, at the window Don't heed the call Don't think we've lost it all Just try to love today Try to love today Rest assured I do think it's sad And I do miss what we had But I just try to love today I try to love today Try to love today I try... Meathook Don't put your red dress on for him Don't put your red dress on Don't put your red dress on for him Don't put your red dress on Don't be afraid of the dark Don't be afraid of the dark Don't be afraid of the dark and what you are without him Don't be afraid of the dark and what you are without him No meathook is as bad as a hook in the heart There's no pain that can make the non-feel feel at all A hole through the skin will not make you whole What is dominion over a faltering soul and a heart that has severed from the body? Is it anything to control someone that has been broken open? Let it show She said, "I've got no soul, I am not Nessarose That is the way that life goes" I said, "Just let it show, you are not Nessarose Come on, grab your broom, let's go Come on, grab your broom, let's blow away" She said, "I've got no soul, I am not Nessarose That is the way that life goes" I said, "Just let it show that you're not Nessarose Come on, grab your broom, let's go Come on, grab your broom, let's blow" I don't know where she ends and where I begin The girl with green oily skin, she ends where I begin I don't know where she ends and where I begin The girl with green oily skin, she ends where I begin Look at Dorothy in the sickly sweet undertow Look at Dorothy, believing and leading them all down the Yellow Brick Road She said, "I've got no soul" I said, "You do, though" She said, "I've got no soul, I am not Nessarose That's just the way that life goes That's just the way that life blows away" I Can't Let You In Fiyero, don't tell a soul what you've seen This is the life that you and I are meant to lead I can't let you in, 'cause the world is falling to pieces I can't let you in, 'cause the world is falling to pieces Fiyero, don't tell a soul a word we speak I need to know, if I don't make it home, you won't look for me I can't let you in, 'cause the world will tear us to pieces I can't let you in, 'cause the world will tear us to pieces Don't even let them hear you breathe I'll never see you again, 'cause the world has torn you to pieces And don't you dare deceive destiny Her for you, but you for me And don't you dare deceive destiny Her for you, but you for me Her for you, but you for me For me And Your Little Dog Too Surrender, Dorothy Bring me the shoes, dear Bring them to me Bring them here, dear Bring them If you know what's good for you If you know what's good If you know what's good for you And your little dog, too You'll bring them here The shoes, dear The shoes Bring them to me If you know what's good for you, dear If you know what's just good If you know what's good for you And your little dog, too You'll bring them here Bring them here Bring them here Bring them to me All is not well
Don't try to lie to me, I know My love was politically disposed of And I didn't see them coming No, I didn't see them coming for you For you Don't try to lie to me, I know Their crime will never be exposed And if I had seen them coming If I had seen them coming What I wouldn't do for you All is not well All is not well All is not well in the land of Oz Don't try to lie to me, I know My love was politically disposed of And I did not see them coming No, if I had seen them coming I'd have chosen you All is not well in the land of Oz
It Was Her House That Killed Nessarose She might fool them but she don't fool me She talks much too earnestly And when Glinda gave her the shoes I had nothing else to lose And I asked her to take my hand I asked her to please understand They love her so 'cause she's so sticky sweet But she just doesn't seem honest to me And when Glinda asked me to choose Well, I had nothing much else to lose And I asked her to take my hand I asked her who once was my friend, I thought, 'til the end And I thought I had the secret to life I don't, do I? Do I? And I thought that I had the secret to life But I don't, do I? I follow her down the Yellow Brick Road Chasing her now, for revenge, I suppose She causes destruction wherever she goes It was her house that killed Nessarose It was her house that killed Nessarose That's just the way life goes
Sweet Heart Solitude still holds you I don't have to fake the blues And all you want is refuge Sugar is the heart's food Sugar is the heart's food Fathers don't know all the rules Kicked around, I know you know the cruelty of love And if you could have just one thing for your birthday, what would it be? Maybe that one wrong word would not make you bad And you could say just how you feel And they would still want you around And maybe that you could make mistakes And that it would still be okay And they would still want you around Thoughts are often ridiculed Feelings often misunderstood And all you do is rescue one little piece of your heart And feed it sugar And it will grow So powerful and strong You won't know what to do with all the warmth You won't even remember all the harm And it will be so much easier to lead The life you always wanted The life you always should have had Away I heard he is missing in the river now They say he is nowhere to be found I hope she sang the sweetest lullaby So that he was calm when he went down Angels sing Glory Hallelujah But he will bring his voice to heaven and blow them all away He will bring his voice to heaven and blow them all away I guess he is singing in the water now Breathing in the purity of sound I know she promised him a lilac crown So that he was not afraid to drown Angels sing Glory Hallelujah But he will bring his voice to heaven and blow them all away He will bring his voice to heaven and blow them all away Put them all to shame Blow them all away Away... Away... The Vampire Waltz The light in your eyes beckons to me It beckons so quietly, but I hear it clearly You start walking towards me Taking my breath and fearlessly setting me free Oh, I feel it being drawn out The blood flowing steadily into your mouth This dark night, cruel and cold You whisper softly, "Honey, you'll never grow old" Looking back at the crowd Back at the party I step outside and disappear swiftly Oh, I feel it being drawn out The pain of life fading, going down south Lost in the wake of my wedding And caught here at these old crossroads I can never leave I think I've been fooled Why am I not dressed in white? With eyes full of glory and wine I'll be your eternal bride I'll be here forever Here, on this night Why am I not dressed in white? I need you near me I think I've been fooled I need you near me I think I've been fooled You carry me over the crossroads And I'm lost on this cold, dark night Why am I not dressed in white? I carry a mandrake in my bouquet And I shiver when it screams I carry a mandrake in my bouquet And I shiver when it screams The light in your eyes is still calling to me Taking my whole world and setting it spinning Knowing my weakness, the spark lies in the sand Taking my hand, you lead me into the dance Oh, I feel it being drawn out My soul is rushing right into your mouth How could you take me away from the party? I think I've been fooled How could you take me away from the party? I think I've been fooled I need you near me I think I've been fooled I carry a mandrake in my bouquet And I shiver when it screams I need you near me I think I've been fooled I carry a mandrake in my bouquet And I shiver when it screams With eyes full of lust and light I'll be your eternal bride I'll be here forever Here, on this night Oh, why am I not dressed in white? Something is not right Will the light spark?
Through The Gash Defenestration Oh you want to walk straight down the line I just sashey from side to side Coming at you from behind Coming at you, all scissors and knives All shadows and lies You want to walk straight down the line I just sway from side to side Coming at you like some tattered corpse bride Coming at you, so stand aside I'm coming through, if you don't mind I do remember the room underneath the bell We held hands in the stairwell Hummingbirds followed me at school At least that's what you said And I was never the same That's when everything changed So now I see him standing There at the window Oh, he's so sweet I want to love him I want it so But when I reach for him Out he goes I see him standing there at the window I come up behind him, all hustle and flow I rustle the dust around him And out he goes Out you go I could say I'm surprised but it wouldn't be true 'Cause it happened last time to the one before you So step away from the gash I'm coming through No Man Alive All that matters is love… There's no man alive that has what I need So give me a man that I can breathe There's no man alive that has what I want So give me a man that I can haunt Give me a static-free cellular line So I can call him all of the time Give me a shimmering astral cord So I can be there when he's with his whore I feel it come again The feeling that I love And when the ride comes to an end, Just get up, dust off, and do it again I feel it come again The feeling that I love And that I know will end There's no man alive that I can't deceive So give me a man who's crueller than me There's no man alive that I can't destroy So give me a man who'll be first to deploy Give me a static-free cellular line So I can connect to him all of the time Give me a sparkling astral cord So I can be there when he is no more Don't Be Scared Don't be scared to decode I know it seems Sometimes there is no hope Don't be scared You're not alone Don't be scared Please just don't be scared Don't be scared Don't be sad It will be all right This too shall pass Just get through one more night Don't be sad Give us a smile Don't be sad Just try a while Don't be sad It'll be all right Don't be sad Just get through one more night Don't be sad Don't be scared to feel afraid Nightshade and bile, I am erased The words you say will keep you safe And it's all the hurt that will be erased So don't be scared Don't be scared Don't be scared And don't be sad Carnival Justice (The Gloves Are Off) Part II Step right up and get what you deserve Oh, what a prize Yeah, it's her And if you think

coming around You crawl away and don't leave any trace Yeah, it is true, you would not be the same If you can't love me, I guess we are through I never even showed you what I'd do to you 'Cause you

Are Pick up the stitches Pick up the stitches Be strong Pick up the stitches It's all right Just pick up the stitches It's all right You're not mine It's all right I am fine Just left with scars To remind me where the wounds are To remind me where the wounds are Thread the light through the flesh And push the needle past the rest Through the bone, into the heart Where madness ends and music starts Listen Don't worry It won't be long Just weave all your sadness into a song And I know you will I know you will I know you will Because I know you I'm all right You're not mine I'm all right I'll be fine Just left with scars To remind me where the wounds are To remind me where the wounds are Lace the ribbon up your back And stitch the future to the past When demons become friends at last Hold them tight and heal the gash Listen Don't worry It won't be long Just spin all your nightmares into a song I know you will I know you will Because I know you Because I know you Because I know you It's all right You'll survive It's all right You'll be fine Just left with scars To remind you where the wounds are To remind you to… Sew every glimmer you get to your skin And let every sound you hear come crashing in Knit your fragile veins to the wrists of your friends And know that you will see them again Sew every shimmer you get to your skin And let every whisper come rushing back in And pick up the stitches and start to mend Love pierces through even death in the end Love will pierce through even death in the end Believe that you will see them again (The spider knows) You will You Had Me I am desire but you are weak And I despise the sound of leaks In veins to quiet to even speak Just bleed despair but never scream I am revenge and disbelief And I regret the tracks I leave In snow that isn't even deep I hold the blade, sharp as can be You had me going out of my head With all the things that you said You had me going out of my head But now I walk away from you instead I am on fire but you retreat With arteries so tense they shriek Anaemic secrets that won't keep A heart that numb must choose deceit I am mayhem and treachery And dead-ends never bothered me Your hollow voice shouts, “Victory!” But whispers, restless, when you sleep “She had me going out of my head” I did descend but now I'm free And I confess you still seem sweet But you no longer disarm me You had me going out of my head With all the things that you said You had me going out of my head But now I walk away from you instead Beware the Touch To have, to hold Is something you Have feared to know but always know Maybe it isn't even true Maybe love cannot Maybe love cannot shelter you The furies are a triple threat The worst to come has not come yet If love is something you can just reject Beware the touch they won't forget Beware the touch of Antoinette Still through the gash you'll reach to pull The bones of someone beautiful His veins stretched tight over his skull The lullaby will become a lull The lullaby will become a lull It begins again The feeling that I love and know will end It begins again The feeling that I love and know will end I'll sing you fast asleep, my love And all the dreams that you dream of Will soothe you like a velvet glove Wrapped around your heart, guarding your blood Wrapped around your heart, guarding your blood And when you wake, you won't recall How light surrenders to the dark So the next time that you start to fall You'll swear he's the greatest love of all And he will redeem the queen of hearts Girls That Glitter Love the Dark Girls that glitter love the dark We lace it through our bitter, black little hearts And then we feign surprise when we see That those we've love to love have seeped Into our poisoned blood Girls that glitter deceive death We thread ourselves through innocent flesh And then we feign surprise when we see That those we've love to waste They seem to be erased Knit it through, thread it Sew it to unsuspecting flesh They won't regret it Or so you say Girls that glitter desecrate a kiss We break the code of happiness And then we feign surprise when we see That those we've loved have loved to leave Girls that glitter defile hope We think that life is just Tightening that sad little rope And then we open our eyes and we see Through the gash Of a fluttering eyelash We see love trying desperately to flee But you don't ever have to fear Just break its wings and it will never disappear You don't ever have to fear Just break its wings and it will never disappear Knit it through Capture it and stitch it to Your brittle little heart At least that way Love can't tear it apart Knit it through Sew it to They won't regret you And if they do But the thing that girls know best Is that glitter covers all the ugliness And they know one thing above the rest Sparkle covers evilness Shimmer covers all the mess Glitter covers darkness And then come the moment When the warm of bees drowned Status Oh, c'est tout I curse the day that I laid eyes on you You thirsty, dirty, stupid root Status: Over, we are through Oh, c'est tout The needle like a thorn removed Slipped out from this aching bruise Status: Weapon

You beg for mercy, but I refuse Step off You have been excused Vous n'avez pas un coeur Solipsistic saboteur You are twisted and unsure You see her lipstick and pearls And want to devour her But now she's tearing up your insides All claws and fur Get up! Give us a smile Get up! Get out of this At least for a while Get up! Oh, c'est tout Tortured dolls will become cruel Porcelain repaired with glue Can't hush the shrieking of a wound So deep it's feral through and through Status: I am done with you

There'd be miles and miles behind us We'd look back at the miles and miles we'd come Don't tell me all those miles were for nothing Don't tell me all of those miles were for nothing What if the sky in Idaho is black and dark? What if the sun in Idaho doesn't set at all? And what if I loved you with all of my heart? And what if my love wasn't good enough? There'd be miles and miles behind us We'd look back at the miles and miles we'd come Don't tell me all those miles were for nothing Don't tell me all of those miles were for nothing With your arms around me, I think I can do this With your help, I think that I can do this Help me do this Help me help you do this Tell me all those miles were for something

My next victim
( Subterfuge EP ) I was numb, I was frozen Then I saw you and my blood started flowing I was tired and heartbroken Then I saw you and I shattered open But you don't want none of my sugar You just want that skanky snatch, no offense to her You don't want none of my sugar You just want that little slit, nothing against her But you are my next victim My next requiem My next anti-numb You will become my next victim
Never come down again (I Can't Let You In EP)
I fly And I will never come down again Not on your life You may call me an automanienne But I will continue to fight I will continue my lonely flight For the rest of my life For you
Not Sad See? It's easy Not sad, happy See? It's easy Not sad, happy Wouldn't it be nice to be like a balloon and just float around Wouldn't it be nice to be like a balloon and never hit the ground And on and on, on and on and on and on and on, floating along And on and on, on and on and on and on and on, floating along Yeah, wouldn't it be nice
Scars
(Soul Poison EP) "Scars" is based on the traditional English-American folk ballad "Scarborough Fair."
Please don't go to Scarborough Fair Violets, roses, thistles and vines Remember me, I am still here He was not a true love of mine He was not a true love of mine He was not a true love of mine Please don't go to Scarborough Fair Honey, poison, oakwood and wine Don't forget me, I still care He was not a true love of mine Follow me to Scarborough Fair Clovers, lilacs, jokers and thieves Remember me, I do not need He was not a true love of mine He was not a true love of mine Please don't go Please don't go Follow me Follow me Twist it and turn it around Kick dust upon it 'til it eats the ground Love is something to break down Make it scream 'til you get sick of the sound Make it scream 'til you get sick of the sound Make it scream 'til you get sick of I'm so sick of the sound
Someone speaks softly
(I Can't Let You In EP) Bury the switchblade a foot deep in snow Silence is golden She loved him, you know Fold up his good shirts and dust off his robe The violence is over, they told her so Is it over? Is it over, I said, is it over? Is it? Her mind tears asunder the heartstrings below Years go by, still she cannot break the code The trauma has severed the flesh from the bone Guilt weighs so heavily on her soul Is it over? Is it over, I said, is it over? Is it? Veins stretched tight over a heart blue and cold Silence is made of gold Hurt is to have and to hold This is what she has been told Is it over? Is it over, I said, is it over? Is it? Someone speaks softly through the horror and pain: "Love has gone, but it could come again." Spring arrives quietly, warming her skin Her heart, now red, is beating again Oh, it's over
The last piece of cake
(Soul Poison EP) She wasn't expecting anyone to hurt her Least of all her daughter She had always been a good mother But her feet slipped in the mud She took a walk with her daughter And her feet slipped in the mud She looked up at her betrayer Running quickly through the trees Please don't leave me here in the dirt Please help me up Reach to me your hand Please help me up She wasn't expecting anyone to hurt her Then her feet slipped in the mud Please don't leave me here in the dirt Reach to me your hand Help me clean these dirty wings I am so terribly hurt This makes me want to believe in heaven And angels For mothers And hunchbacks And wolves Please let me believe that she's happy And safe And warm And smiling Eating apples and the last piece of cake
The Metro
(Meathook EP / Berlin Cover)
I'm alone Sitting with my empty glass My four walls Follow me through my past I was on a paris train I emerged in london rain And you were waiting there Swimming through apologies I remember searching for the perfect words I was hoping you might change your mind I remember a soldier sleeping next to me Riding on the metro You wore white Smiling as you took my hand So removed We spoke of wintertime in france Minutes passed with shallow words Years have passed and still the hurt I can see you now Smiling as you pulled away I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand "i'll love you always" filled my eyes I remember a night we walked along the seine Riding on the metro I remember a feeling coming over me The soldier turned, then looked away I remember hating you for loving me Riding on the metro
The Necklace of Marie Antoinette (Soul Poison EP)
I'll make it look like an accident I'll make it look like he was trying to hurt me I'll make it seem like I was innocent I'll make him wish he had never met me I'll make it look like a suicide I'll make it look like it was meant to be I'll make it seem like I was innocent I'll make the strychnine taste like raspberry tea I fear for your soul (as you sow, you shall reap) I know me, I'm so low (as you sow, you shall reap) I spread the soul poison quietly I make him think that he wanted it from me I make it seem like I'm innocent This disease will feel like solidarity I know me
The Winner Takes It All
(Meathook EP/ Abba Cover) I don't wanna talk About the things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain Why should I complain. But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all...
True Love Will Find You In The End
(Meathook EP / Daniel Johnston Cover)
True love will find you in the end You'll find out just who was your friend Don't be sad, I know you will, But dont give up until True love will find you in the end This is a promise with a catch Only if you're looking can it find you 'Cause true love is searching too But how can it recognize you Unless you step out into the light? Don't be sad i know you will But don't give up until True love finds you in the end.
You Showed Me
(Subterfuge EP / The Byrds Cover) You showed me how to do exactly what to do How I fell in love with you Oh oh oh it's true Oh oh I love you You showed how to say exactly what to say In that very special way Oh oh oh it's true You fell for me too And when I tried it I could see you fall And I've decided It's not a trick at all You taught it to me too exactly what you do And now you love me too Oh oh oh it's true We're in love we two And when I tried it I could see you fall And I've decided It's not a trick at all You taught it to me too exactly what you do And now you love me too Oh oh it's true We're in love we too
