Oh, my lover Circumstance You've gotten ahold of me Once again. Today, you have me By the hand Tomorrow, Around the throat. It's heady enough To get me high But that may just be Because I can't breathe. Oh, my lover Circumstance Come to bed with me. We'll settle down Around the break of dawn Rise from our slumbers Well into the afternoon. We can't get our hands Off of one another. You can't take your eyes Off of me. I can't get Away from you. I have the feeling You'll always be After me. Oh, my lover Circumstance How I wish You would let me go. Relinquish your grip On my neck Release my skin From between your teeth. My dizzy existence Wants to touch the ground again. My selfish heart Wishes you would Find some other poor girl To 'love.'

my lover, Circumstance
