Serial Killers Don't Kill Their Girlfriend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcB09K2-eP4

Here, under your bed I wait for you

'Cause I know, I know you want me to

Skeleton in your closet was never so true

You're so very pretty when you're turning blue

When I hear the sound of your voice

You leave me no choice

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

I'm feeling lucky tonight

I know your mother thinks I'm society's parasite

Well you can leave your mother home

You know how much I like to be alone

And when I hear the sound of her voice

She leaves me no choice

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

Here, under your dress I wait for you

'Cause I know, I know you want me to

When I hear the sound of her voice

She leaves me no choice

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

Be myself, wanna be myself

Why can't you go, let me be myself
