I said I love you till you don’t know you’re born
I said I love you till the far side of dawn
But in the morning
If you must leave
Don’t leave with your apologies
And if you come back
If I liked you at all
Remember I liked you to fall on your knees
Liar, liar, you’re my last desire
Thought your kind of love was just a thorn on a rose
I’ve tried hard to be faithful
Not hard enough I suppose
I tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum
In a pretty drug slum mire tired bearing your sighs
And your sneers and your frown
Tried wearing your jewels and your heels and your crown
But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire
Nothing but a twist of barbwire

Nothing but a twist of barbwire
You say I promised I’d be constantly clean
Oh, did you think that I still say what I mean?
And now you’re keening and you have to decide
Will you open your legs or your eyes
And do you pray now
‘Cause I pray all the time
‘Cause the soul can’t escape what the heart may disguise
Liar, liar, you’re my last desire
Thought your kind of love was just a thorn on a rose
I’ve tried hard to be faithful
Not hard enough I suppose
I tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum
In a pretty drug slum mire tired bearing your sighs
And your sneers and your frown
Tried wearing your jewels and your heels and your crown
But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
