Love Will Bring You Nothing

Eight days ago he was down at my window
 Screaming my name in the air
 And by the sight I could tell he'd been drinking
 When drunk, you don't usually care
 That my situation had altered quite sharply
 Now my kisses don't come for free
 So throw down my hair for my lover to bear
 While my husband, he wakes from his sleep and says
 "Love will bring you nothing but despair"
 "Love will fill you with nothing but regret"
 Out the next day on a fine sunny Sunday
 Walking the dog in the park
 He questioned my history and oh-what-a-mystery
 Who was that man in the dark?
 A jilted ex-lover, but bad was my cover
 I am not one to outsmart
 But then he was silent, I swallowed my lie
 Now be still my beating heart 'cause
 Love will bring you nothing but despair
 Love will fill you with nothing but regret
 But he was God to me
 He was God to me
 ♪
 Back in my bed, I was troubled with dreams
 While my husband slept soundly alone
 I wake at the breaking of glass and an aching
 That's ringing through all of my bones
 I moved through the dark now I know this by heart
 "In a trance I was", that's what I'll say
 Draw blood from my feet, every step is so sweet
 As I reached for his neck where he lay
 In the seconds that pass, my dear breathing his last
 In pity, I sink to the floor
 So cut off my hair and with hours to spare
 I burn the house down
 Love will bring you nothing but despair
 Love will fill you with nothing but regret
 But he was God to me
 He was God to me
