it's an american tragedy

don't you know that it's a crying shame

all that's left is your memory

bittersweet tears of joy and pain

don't give a damn about the good times

because they make it so hard to bear

will you looking for another lover

now i'm all alone in my despair

and i can still recall the day you turned the key

and locked me in this cold and lonely wretched misery

and i don't wanna feel the pain anymore

and i don't wanna feel the whip across my spine

don't wanna be tied up captive

chained to the hurt inside

but don't you know i wanna live again like a

man is supposed to

i don't wanna be your slave anymore

and i don't wanna be a slave for you

well you were mother something ruthless baby

a jacker ripper in a high heel shoes

you cut me like a razor blade

and still i can't get over you

i keep remembering your body baby

i keep remembering your sweet perfume

instead of thinking about the love we used to make

i'm wondering who's been helping you

and i can still recall the day you turned the key

and locked me in this cold and lonely wretched misery

and i don't wanna feel the pain anymore

and i don't wanna feel the whip across my spine

don't wanna be tied up captive

chained to the hurt inside

well don't you know i wanna live again like a

man is supposed to now

i don't wanna be your slave anymore

and i don't wanna be a slave for you

yeah

on my way

and i can still recall the day you turned the key

and locked me in this cold and lonely wretched misery

i don't wanna feel the pain anymore

i don't wanna feel the pain anymore

feel the whip across my spine

chained to the hurt inside

don't you know i wanna live again

like a man is supposed to

i don't wanna be your slave anymore

and i don't wanna be a slave for you
