I sigh and pine and waste away,
But for all my love he will not stay
True to the promise he made to me.
I beg and plea but it cannot be.

He wraps me up in his arms.
How many others has he coaxed with these charms?
How many women were whispered sweet words?
One? Five? Shall they gather in herds? 

There's a tightness in my chest
There's a numbness in my soul
There's a gleam that vanished from my eye
Never again to hold

So where so we go from here?
Do we adhere to fair is fair?
Because I've seen the world and looked about 
There are none that can compare!

You own me so completely
I could never go astray
So when you go to leave my bed
I beg you, please, to stay.
