Once when I was all alone,
I called you, and you weren't home
my heart fell like a stone
to the ground
to the ground
to the ground
(to the ground
to the ground
to the ground)
Why, when morn had dawned on me,
and anger grew like ecstasy,
and leda threw the swan on me
and I fell to the ground
to the ground

Chorus:
Oh, Don't say I want you,
don't stay this way
Believe me, I wasn't trying
to play the game
where someone's to blame
I'll stay the same
'till you change your mind
And you'll change your mind

I could have broken you,
I should have spoken for you
should have seen it was turning me on
don't you know it's true?
there are worse things
perverse things
You should answer when the phones rings
there are worse things I could do

Once when I was all alone,
I could not find the telephone
so instead I burned your pretty home
to the ground,
to the ground,
to the ground

Oh, Don't say I want you,
don't stay this way
Believe me, I wasn't trying to
play the game
where someone's to blame
I'll stay the same
'till you change your mind
I'll stay the same
'till you change your mind
And you'll change your mind
