Verse 1:
I play the victor, say ‘I licked ‘em!’
Sometimes I even play the victim.
Had I claimed to have escaped,
Bruised, beaten — nearly raped?
Prechorus 1:
All those hounds at my lady foxes
And it took but a punch to your boxers
Chorus:
I’m here, darling,
Sleek and slim.
Living like
a pseudonym.
Here, but never quite there
I’m back in your life like a nightmare.
Verse 2:
I was there when walls were cracking,
trying to put the pieces back in
You were near the spot I picked,
on the wrong side, and you kicked
Prechorus 2:
All those precious little moves and glances,
Like an invitation no one answers
Chorus:
I’m here, darling,
Sleek and slim.
Living like
a pseudonym.
Here, but never quite there
I’m back in your life like a nightmare.
Yes, I’m back in your life like a nightmare.
Yes, I’m back in your life like a nightmare.
