You'll Be Alone When I Throw You In Jail

Lyrics: Radford
Music: Benedetti

You said you'd love me forever and that's O.K.
I may love you tomorrow, I loved you yesterday
We'll be together 'till our love grows stale
But you'll be alone when I throw you in jail

I'd say you were a goddess, my ideal
But love is never perfect, and seldom real
You're not my Aphrodite, you're not my Holy Grail
You'll be alone when I throw you in jail

You asked me for forever, and I fell asleep
I've gotta get up early, babe, so please don't weep
Put away your white dress, put away your veil
You'll be alone when I throw you in jail

My love hasn't faded, any more than Benedetti
Has the looks of Casanova, or the strength of a yeti
But I won't come to visit, I won't post your bail
You'll be alone when I throw you in jail
