Just like my sister with a spinning top,
you spin me round and round and round and I can't stop. [bad word] after you just like a lovesick dog;
feeling like the little boy who's lost in the fog.

Just like a fly who's attracted to jam;
you put me next to you and baby thats what I am.
Your messing me up just like a broken toy;
stick me back together baby I'm your boy.
 [bad word] 
But I carry my pride like a burning cross.
I won't let you buy it not at any cost.
You ain't got no hold on me, you had before;
I got to get my self away and save my soul!

[shouted w guitar break]
Get out of my way you! You ain't no good! … Bad!

Just like a string on a fiddlers bow,
you got me all so tensed-up tight you wont let me go.
The price I pay to keep your love is much too high.
If you quit me, it will hit me, baby I'll die!

But I carry my pride like a burning cross.
I won't let you buy it not at any cost.
You ain't got no hold on me, you had before;
I got to get my self away and save my soul!

But I carry my pride like a burning cross.
I won't let you buy it not at any cost.
You ain't got no hold on me, you had before;
I got to get my self away and save my soul!

Save my soul … get off my life! … Are you!?
You're dragging me down … Leave me alone!
