[length: 03:53]
[00:01.34]Why don’t you try to do without him?
[00:07.76]Why don’t you try to live alone?
[00:14.38]Do you really need his hands for your passion?
[00:20.28]Do you really need his heart for your throne?
[00:26.55]Do you need his labour for your baby?
[00:32.47]Do you need his beast for the bone?
[00:38.48]Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady?
[00:44.09]I know you’re gonna make it, make it on your own
[00:51.93]Why don’t your try to forget him?
[01:00.43]Just open up your dainty little hand
[01:06.78]You know this life is filled with many sweet companions
[01:12.86]Many satisfying one-night stands
[01:19.43]Do you wanna be the ditch around a tower?
[01:25.37]Do you wanna be the moonlight in his cave?
[01:31.62]Do you wanna give your blessing to his power
[01:37.07]As he goes whistling past his daddy, past his daddy’s grave
[01:45.20]I’d like to take you to the ceremony
[01:53.67]Well, that is if I remember the way
[02:00.04]You see Jack and Jill they’re going to join their misery
[02:06.36]I’m afraid it’s time for everyone to pray
[02:12.47]You can see they’ve finally taken cover
[02:18.21]They’re willing, yeah they’re willing to obey
[02:24.39]Their vows are difficult, they’re for each other
[02:29.94]So let nobody put a loophole, a loophole in their way
