lyrics

I'm sitting here in this darkened room
Reading all the letters you sent me
The little love notes, the cards and the quotes
Spell out your love for me intensely

My heart is burning with each page that I'm turning
and I throw them all on the fire
' cos they're pledging you undying love
And I know you're a liar

'Cos I know that you've been cheating
I've spoken to the one you've been meeting
A petty girl, all diamonds and pearls
And a face to stop your heart beating
Her skin so fair
not to mention her hair
Her eyes like pools of water

But my heart was torn in two that night
I met your beautiful daughter

I know that I should hate you
But I don't know if I can
I just wish for once that you'd stand up
And be counted like a man

And I cry, 'cos I still love you
Though I don't think that I oughta
I hope you'll take good care of her
And your beautiful daughter

Cos know that you've been cheating
I've spoken to the one you've been meeting
A pretty girl . All diamonds and pearls
And a face to stop your heart beating
Her skin so fair, not to mention her hair
Her eyes like pools of water

I know that you could not love me
Like your beautiful daughter

Now I'm laying down on this cold hard floor
'Cos the pains 's too much to bear
Rest my hands upon my swollen belly
and imagine that your standing there

The pain it comes. And then it goes
And I feel the rush of the water
And with a final push I hear the pitiful cries
Of your beautiful daughter

Well I know that you been cheating
Cos I've spoken to the one you've been meeting
A pretty girl all diamond and pearls
And face to stop you heart beating
Her skin so fair
not to mention her hair
Her eyes like pools of water

I hope you'll all come around one day
And meet your beautiful daughter

I hope you'll all come around one day
And meet your beautiful daughter
