Soft Cell - A Lover Spurned - Текст песни

A lover spurned

A lesson learned

On love youve got

Your fingers burnt


Shed bitter tears

Now love has turned

The sweet revenge

Of a lover spurned


A passing phase

A week of love

But all at once

You had enough


It pales so soon

Waned with the moon

No deep concern

For a lover spurned


She'll destroy you with her little games

See you swallow all the blame

Make you pay in many ways

For the pleasure of watching you squirm


She'll tell her friends to treat you rough

That you just weren't good enough

Make the going really tough

For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell


And every day

More guilt to pay

A lesson learned

From a lover spurned


It was all so cosy for you

You had a wife, two children

And a beautiful house

And me, well you wanted me

When it suited your needs

And now, now I have nothing

Just a handful of faded photographs

Nothing but a cold empty heart

But Im not easily forgotten

I'll appear when you least expect

To make you pay

You asked for it that way


She'll come to get you with a knife

Write poison letters to your wife

Totally destroy your life

For the pleasure of watching you squirm


She'll make a fool of you at work

Drag your name through the dirt

Make sure that it really hurts

For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell


A lover spurned

A lesson learned

On love you've got

Your fingers burnt


Shed bitter tears

Now love has turned

The sweet revenge

Of a lover spurned


The sweet revenge


Of a lover spurned
