Stranglers Blues Lyrics

I've waited this moment
To look in your eyes
Put my hands on your sweet neck
and squeeze out the life
Living without you
I paid quite a price
But to live without the torment
of your cheating and lies

Living life without your love
is a life without your pain
livin life in the numbness
of a prison yard chain.

If she wore a scarlett letter
I could let her live on
But not in this house
and not in this song
I know that forgiveness
is the way of the lord
I guess I'll forgive her
When she's dead on the floor.

Living life without your love
is a life without your pain
livin life in the numbness
of a prison yard chain.

One man wants a woman
who will cook and will clean
and them man get a woman
she is hateful and mean
And this man needs a woman
who will stand by his side
while the shame in his life
Had swayed his Pride

Living life without your love
is a life without your pain
livin life in the numbness
of a prison yard chain.

Living life without your love
is a life without your pain
livin life in the numbness
of a prison yard chain.

Livin life in the numbness
of a prison yard chain.

Livin life in the numbness
of a prison yard chain.
