Once when I was all alone,
I called you, and you weren't at home
My heart fell like a stone, to the ground
To the ground, to the ground
Why, when morn had dawned on me,
And anger grew like ecstasy,
And Leda threw the swan on me and I fell to the ground,
To the ground, to the ground
-Chorus-
Oh, don't say "I want you",
Don't stay this way, believe me,
I wasn't trying to play the game
Where someone's to blame,
I'll stay the same 'til you change your mind
And you'll change your mind
I could have broken you,
I should have spoken for you
You should have seen it was turning me on
Don't you know it's true?
There are worse things, perverse things
You should answer when the phone rings
There are worse things I could do
Once when I was all alone,
I could not find the telephone
So instead I burned your pretty home to the ground
To the ground, to the ground
-Chorus-
