Lyrics[]

What an unusual name you said

What a spectacular redhead

You really seem like a prize to me

And you are so mysterious

When you are not delirious

Oh, what you mean to me


And she said, how do you know me so well

After only one night?

How do I love you, tell me

With all of my might


I'm indebted to you

I'm indebted to you

Always


There's something she doesn't know about

A secret he doesn't show about

A sensitive sign on his arm, oh, my

She got her skeletons as well

Some secrets he knows she'll never tell

People who keep her alone


And she said, how did I know you so well?

Why am I not surprised?

He said, baby, go to hell

And that was the demise, of their love


Don't ever pick up the man

If you don't think he'll understand

Don't ever trust yourself if you

Have a history of being a loving fool


So, that's what she got when she married him

A lifetime promise to carry him

Him and his every second of need


I do not know him so well

Not more than that one night

Do you still love me, oh, tell me

With all of your might?


I'm indebted to you

I'm indebted to you

My love
