lyrics

Is it true what they say:
a woman’s love is brief?
Would you play in the brook,
and give me grief?
Would you leave me howling
like you wouldn’t believe?
Go breaking branches
up in willow trees?

Get thee to a nunnery,
get me a copy of the key.
How you torture so lovingly...
it’s the devil what you’re doin’ to me.
For you, I’d lose a good night’s sleep.
For you, I’d make it through the week.
For you, I’d make the staircase creak.
Fall in love with the shape of your feet.

For you...
For you...
For you...
Fall in love... [x2]

Get thee to a nunnery,
get me a copy of the key
How you torture so lovingly...
it’s the devil what you’re doin’ to me.
For you, I’d lose a good night’s sleep.
For you, I’d make it through the week.
For you, I’d make the staircase creak.
Fall in love with the shape of your feet.

Is it true what they say:
a woman’s love is brief?
Would you play in the brook,
and give me grief?
Would you leave me howling
like you wouldn’t believe?
Go breaking branches
up in willow trees?
