🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Didn't I, my dear?
  • Didn't I, my-
  • Tremble for yourself, my man
  • You know that you have seen this all before

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Didn't I, my dear?
  • But it was not your fault but mine
  • And it was your heart on the line
  • I really fucked it up this time
