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.
