I did a sick, sick thing to my love My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up And she cooked me food She squirmed and turned Like a skeleton key She left her man and attended to me And don't call me that Don't claim you love me Cause you know that ain't true My dire affliction I'll attribute to you And you're finally free To twist and turn Like a skeleton key You've gotta let me know You've gotta let me know
I did a horrible thing to that girl I bread my misery and drowned it in her And she got me high And I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes And I miss you less and less everyday This stream of whisky's helped to wash you away And it's clear to see You're nothing special You're a skeleton key You've gotta let me know You've gotta let me know You've gotta let me know You've gotta let me know
