This is how I built my wife Brought a dead body to life With the soul of a gypsy queen And the brightest eyes that I'd ever seen Gave her two murderous hands And two legs with the devil's dance And at last gave her half of my heart To make sure that we were never apart There must have been a mix up along the way I must have made a mistake Now listen closely to what I'm gonna say If you cross me, I'll cut you There must have been a mix up along the way I must have made a mistake Now listen closely to what we're gonna say If you cross me, I'll cut you One morning when I woke To the blackest cloud of smoke Seems the neighbors had conspired To bring the house down with fire Just my luck my devil bride Filled her lover's arms to hide I brought you into this world I will take you out baby girl There must have been a mix up along the way I must have made a mistake Now listen closely to what we're gonna say If you cross me, I'll cut you There must have been a mix up along the way I must have made a mistake Now listen closely to what we're gonna say If you cross me, I'll cut you There must have been a mix up along the way I must have made a mistake Now listen closely to what we're gonna say If you cross me, I'll cut you There must have been a mix up along the way I must have made a mistake You weren't supposed to know how to run away If you cross me, I'll cut you If you cross me, I'll cut you
