Lyrics

Before Destruction

[Verse 1]

Before destruction, a man's heart is haughty

Before destruction, a man

A man's heart is haughty

Ooh

Everyone loves you for your black eye

They feast on the abundance of your house

[Chorus]

Your love

Won't you believe?

Oh, won't you believe now?

[Verse 2]

Just as you're leaving, you turn around and take a cold shot

Just as you're turning your back

Oh, I

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, oh, ah

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ah, love

Your love

Make a cold [?]

Your love

Your love
