Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks
I have words that do not come from children's books
There's a trick with a knife I'm learnin' to do
But everything I've got belongs to you!

I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist
And the perfect wrist to give your neck a twist!
Hammer lock holds, I've mastered a few
But everything I've got belongs to you!

Share for share, share alike
You get struck each time I strike!
Me for you, you for me
I'll give you plenty of nothin'!

I'm not yours for better, but for worse
And I've learned to give the well-known witch's curse!
I've a terrible tongue and a temper for two
But everything I've got belongs to you!
