Lyrics
Do you wanna see me cry
Do you wanna hear me moanin? over you
Do you wanna see me flat on my back in the sickbed of love.
You spell?s come over me,
Take a look at me now.
Do I have to beg and crawl
I can learn to sit and roll right over too
If you wanna see me jump, like a chump
Then just tell me how high
What the hell?s come over me
You got a hook in me now.
Before we met I was a Roman Emperor
Then you came, saw and conquered me
With you began my decline and fall
But please don?t set me free
?Cause I just wanna hang around
So maybe someday I can prove my love for you
And if it helps to see me tortured and chained and in pain in this dungeon of love
Then throw away the key
I'm your prisoner now.
Before we met I was a "roaming" Emperor
Then you came, saw and conquered me
With you began my decline and fall
But please don?t set me free, you one-woman Barbarian Horde, you.
?Cause I just wanna hang around
So maybe someday I can prove my love for you
And if it helps to see me maimed in this strange inquisition of love
I?m in your custody
Throw the book at me now.
Oh you can flog and flick and flay my heart
You can pierce my manhood with a dart
You can burn me warmly at the stake
For you?re sweet love I?d gladly bake
I?d tour the Gulag Archipelago
To show you how far for you through Hell I?ll go
For just one look of sympathy
You can freely draw and quarter me
Its true love can?t you see
Take a look at me?
I?m sick, sick, sick, sick, sick...
In the sickbed...[cough] of love.
