Woodwork Lyrics

Godley & Creme Woodwork

Oh I never knew you were so weak
I never knew I was so strong
Till you let go about a year ago
And left me hanging on
When you cut the thing that held us together
You were pulling the wings off a fly
Now you're back from the dead pushing a double bed
And I wanna know why
Oh you say it was a misunderstanding
You never meant to let me down
You say you love me still
But your hand's in the till
So why should I believe in you now
Now I'm rich you popped up out of nowhere
Through a hole in the net
And all you say is, Hi, do you remember
When I wanna forget
(Chorus)
You came crawling out of the woodwork
Crawling out of the wood
You came crawling out of the woodwork
To suck my blood
Crawling out of the woodwork
For old time's sake
Crawling out of the woodwork
For a slice of cake
You came crawling
I didn't even know about the others
Till I caught you in a cheap hotel
Now I've always been lousy with faces
But the pain rings a bell
He was tall, he was rich and he was handsome
He was everything that I'd never been
Did you hang about till the money ran out
Before crawling on back to me
(Chorus)
I never knew you were so weak
I never knew I was so strong
Till you let go about a year ago
And left me hanging on
When you cut the thing that held us together
You were pulling the wings off a fly
Now you're back from the dead pushing a double bed
And I wanna know why
(Chorus)
