I GAVE YOU ALL I HAD TO GIVE, STILL YOU WANTED MORE
  YOU STOLE THE VERY HEART RIGHT OUT OF ME.
  I LIVED AND BREATHED AND DRESSED FOR YOU, AND EVEN UNDRESSED                
  FOR YOU. NOW, THERE'S JUST ONE THING YOU MUST DO

  IT'S SO HARD TO ADMIT TO THIS MISTAKE
  TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A ROYAL RAKE
  AT TIMES YOU WERE SO VERY ODD
  A VALENTINO, A MARQUIS DE SADE
  I GOT CUT UP IN YOUR ONE-WAY GAME
  I'VE GOT NO ONE ELSE BUT MYSELF TO BLAME
  I'LL GET BACK AT YOU, SOMEDAY YOU'LL PAY
  BUT FOR NOW I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT YOU'LL

  PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, THE LOVE YOU TOOK FROM ME
  PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, MY HEART'S IN MISERY
  PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, THE LIFE YOU TOOK FROM ME
  IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO LIVE WITHOUT, WHAT YOU TOOK SO EASILY

  YOURS IS THE KIND TO TAKE CONTROL
  A THIEF OF LOVE WITHOUT A SOUL
  RETURN MY HEART AND TAKE THESE BLUES
  THERE'S NO USE KEEPING WHAT YOU CAN'T USE
  I'VE KNOWN LOTS OF GUYS BUT YOU'RE UNIQUE
  THE WAY YOU HYPNOTIZE AND YOUR MYSTIQUE
  I FELL FOR YOUR SCENT, AN APHRODISIAC
  BUT YOUR JUST A CLEVER KLEPTOMANIAC SO...

  PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, THE LOVE YOU TOOK FROM ME
  PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, MY HEART'S IN MISERY

  PUT IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT, THE LIFE YOU TOOK FROM ME
  IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO LIVE WITHOUT, WHAT YOU TOOK SO EASILY

  THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE THAT I COULD EVER DO WOULD BE TO
  SIMPLY STAY AWAY FROM YOU, BUT I CAN'T AS LONG    
  AS YOU HAVE THAT DIVINE PART OF WHAT WAS ONCE MINE
  SO I'M ASKING YOU PLEASE, JUST PUT IT BACK!
