i held out my heart on a piece of string
like a conker you conquered it with one hit it began to swing
over and under now i can't control this thing
that sits so deep in between my bones, oh how did you get in?

i watched them watch you as you built up your empire
with a jealous grin, they would wander in trying to catch your eye
i thought if i fought for you you'd feed my desire
everybody's looking for that spark but when it's dark you need a fire

you may be troublesome but i'm trouble free
so let your troubles trouble me
you know some guys only use their eyes
so they don't know what they don't see

but you think you've finally found someone and you think he's quite a catch
well i don't agree, you see, he's not me so i wouldn't get too attached
what's it like having to start each night from scratch?
because you can't ignite without a light so baby come meet your match...
