Sleight of Hand

I used to find myself attracted to the vaguest sleight of hand
And by the day my life went upside down, my head went to the sand
But now she's gone, now she's gone
And she's never coming back to see me wallow, see me sad
But all I hope is no one else would hold her hand
On the 14th of September now, the words, they came to me
They say: Grow a pair of bollocks and stand up, I want to be seen!
And she was gone! Oh, she was gone!

Now the relationship's been canceled, so now I can be free
So, please tell me why I feel like this my livin' pumpin' heart's been cut in three
Now, don't you go now, baby, please, just don't you see?
My whole life without you is a complete monstrosity
And I think of all the times we had, it pains me to believe
If my baby ever takes me back, I'd love her tenderly
It's only been 2 weeks now, yet I still feel pain
I think of all the boys she's with and those she's yet to name
But they'll be gone! Oh, they'll be gone!

'Cause once I've got my hands on them and once they've heard this song
I dread to think what I would do, but what I do I know it would be wrong
But don't you go now, baby, please: Just don't you see?
My whole life without you is a complete monstrosity
I think of all the times we've had, it pains me to believe
If my baby ever takes me back, I'd love her tenderly
But don't you go now, baby, please, just don't you see?
My whole life without you is a complete monstrosity

I think of all the times we've had, it pains me to believe
If my baby ever takes me back, I'd love her tenderly
So I guess the hurt will live inside me now, forever and for dead
And I know the damn will try his luck and pick up what is left
But my message is to any man that settles in my grave
Just leave me my belongings I'll be up and on my way
Because, I guess she has the right to hold your hand!
