From the recording Be Gay Do Crime: My Cover Story
Lyrics
You're A novel that I hoped I'd never have to tell
A lesson that I wish I'd never learned so well
After all my years of giving up and letting go
All I wanted was to give you what you'd never known
I know now
You could only hurt me cause I let you get to know me so well
I know now
I love you cause only you can turn my heaven to hell
I know now, I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I suffer your spell
You're a promise that depleted every hope and dream
You're the whisper at the end of every hopeless scream
After all these years of turning love to depressive rage
All you wanted was for me to help you turn the page
I know now
I didn't see the bruises that I got the first time I fell
I know now
No one wants to hear this tale that I have to tell
I know now, I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I suffer your spell
I know now
I only loved you cause I knew you'd never treat me so well
I know now
I loved you because through you I've become somebody else
I know now, I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I suffer your spell
