Oh reaper of my heart, can’t you feel my heart ache,
To soothe your restless soul?
How can I, when my soul has become as restless
As the passion that I stole,
From you the night I fell, Oh reaper can’t you tell?
I know envy is a deadly sin, but I cannot really begin
To tell of the envy, I felt toward the hearts you’ll win
The hearts that I know will compete
And come crashing down to your feet
Like plates that became unstable
And came falling from a table
When I saw you in that beautiful dress
I was so jealous I really must confess
I knew you would meet some hungry wolves very soon
Because you left me howling hopelessly at the moon
I am an honest liar who takes pride in his humility
A nervous man who really loves his tranquility
I want to take you for a ride anywhere you want to go
I just thought this was something you should know
If you need a friend for anything at all call me on the phone
And there will be no need for either of us to ever to be alone
