Suddenly last summer  I started going out of my head  In a tiny hotel room  Lying naked on a bed  I knew what you were doing, and I knew what you'd done  Your life with me was ending, your new life had begun  But I was cursing your name, and I was cursing that room  And I was praying for the strength to stop loving you  I started writing you the letter  Which turned into the book  I was gonna reach across the ocean  and force you to look  But what kind of man was I?  Who would sacrify you happiness to satisfy his pride  What kind of man was I?  Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind  Then you came back to me and I went down on one knee  With a glint in my eyes and a rose between my teeth  And I pushed out my tongue for you to see  That I'd been dying of a thirst for your company  Then you quenched my loneliness with your tears  And our clothes fell away as we rolled back the years  But we could't deny it because we could not admit it  If our love was too strong to die  Or we were just too weak to kill it  Was our love too strong to die?  Or were we just too weak to kill it?  Every moment in that room  I closed my eyes in prayer  Every moment I awoke  I clenched my teeth in prayer  What kind of man was I?  Who would sacrify your happiness to satisfy his pride  What kind of man was I?  Who would delay your destiny to appease his tiny mind  Who could delay your destiny to appease his aching swollen pride  Who could delay your destiny to appease his screaming little mind  You're mine
