Fingers of fire brand me
with your trained caresses
work their way down my back
just don't you turn
Why do I forsake you
when you call to me
your love falls on deaf ears
weeping's gone for the night
you'll have to start again
Hush little baby don't you cry
because you know that I
can see your sweat
can see your bed with tears
Hush little baby don't say a word
just know that you've been heard
so close your eyes
and try to get some sleep
I'm pretty gross and mean and tired
you don't want to deal with all that I bring
I warn you I'm not worth it
You're better in the end
if you walk away now
and I'll try to forget
I want to forget you and most times I can
but at night I can't get away
Hush little baby while I sing
I'll buy you a diamond ring
so that you'll marry me someday
Hush little baby don't you cry
because you know that I
can see your sweat
can see your bed with tears
