Masterpiece

My sweet etcetera, my finest work
 Is when I undress you and your heart's the perfect
 Singing between the parentheses of your shoulders
 You're my reason for falling
 (Slightly)
 Short of my calling
 (Nightly)
 And I'm gonna make you my sweet excuse.
 So, come on, please, would you be my masterpiece
 So that I can believe my best work is done?
 Come on, please, would you be my masterpiece
 So I can stop tryin' to be great and believe that I've won?
 I don't mean to upset you.
 I was a better man back when I met you.
 Now, every night is my last night of obscurity
 The talent of your skin slays me.
 You're my reason for falling
 (Slightly)
 Short of my calling
 (Nightly)
 And I'm gonna make you my sweet excuse
 So, come on, please, would you be my masterpiece
 So that I can believe my best work is done?
 Come on, please, would you be my masterpiece
 So I can stop tryin' to be great and believe that I've won?
 In between what you make and who you are
 There's a place where the tear down starts
 If I had to stand up and choose
 I could only save one of you
 So, come on, please, would you be my masterpiece
 So I that I can believe my best work is done?
 Come on, please, would you be my masterpiece
 So I can stop tryin' to be great and believe that I've won?
 My sweet etcetera, my finest work is when I undress you
