Shivaree - Little Black Mess lyrics

I should try to be good Forever and ever, amen So I'll touch wood And hope I don't get caught again Without my lines And off the mark Looking for signs I can't see here in the dark My opening won't be a great success Till you come get me out of This little black mess I'll play my part And say never ever again Then cross my heart Cry until you say when A little cheat while you turn away Things we repeat one more time Day after day I've lost my appetite so nonetheless It fits like a glove now My little black mess Who's to say if we'll know When it's time for this old thing to go And so if I'm good Could you forgive how I've been? You misunderstood Now if you'd just let me begin To put on my face I'll put on the room Go take my place One more time Then we can resume It's true I'm sure to die out here unless You come help me out of This little black mess
