(The Backroom Boys)
How can you say, I love you
When you mock me the way you do ?
How can I but your heart despise
When all you give to me are lies ?
Love is just an empty word
And no true sentiment conferred
You offer love that`s incomplete
I`ve looked for trust but found deceit
How can you say, I love you
(Please don`t vex my soul this way)
When you mock me the way you do ?
(Tormenting me from day to day)
How can I but your heart despise
(I cannot keep my mind from you)
When all you give to me are lies ?
(I`ll tell you what you want me to)
Love is just an empty word
(God provides my strength and might)
And no true sentiment conferred
(For I have been a Nazirite)
You offer love that`s incomplete
(Cut my hair and as I speak,)
I`ve looked for trust but found deceit
(Like other men, I shall be weak)
