Lyrics

A Woman Destroyed

Our love is supreme
But you've taken it for granted
You've been stupid, reckless
And you've been careless
You know what they say about the ones
Who make you feel you're hard to love?

Our love is over
Now you've found your little oyster
And you swapped your queen out for a pawn
Lock your door, get a guard dog

Our love (love, love)
Is our love (love, love)
It's your love (love, love)
And my love (love, love)
A woman destroyed, a woman destroyed
A woman destroyed, a woman destroyed

Our love is shattered
You wrecked it, it's in tatters
I guess I'll be taking my revenge
'Cause you wrecked my dreams and all my plans
Don't walk home in the dark alone
Better sleep with all the lights on

Our love (love, love)
It's our love (love, love)
It's your love (love, love)
And my love (love, love)
A woman destroyed, a woman destroyed
A woman destroyed, a woman destroyed

When the crooked man
Walked the crooked mile
In the pouring rain
In the summer heat

And the dogs are barking
And the children singing
And the stars are pulling
At my hair and you're hustling

Watch your back in the alley
Lock your door, keep the lights on
Don't walk in the dark
Better sleep with the lights on

When the crooked man
Walks the crooked mile
In the pouring rain
In the summer heat

And the dogs are barking
And the children singing
And the stars are pulling
At my hair and you're hustling

Watch your back in the alley
Lock your door, keep the lights on
Lock your door, keep the lights on
Lock your door, get a guard dog

Our love was supreme
But you took it all for granted
Our love was supreme
I guess I'll be taking my revenge
I guess I'll be taking my revenge
