We walk hand in hand 'til life does us part   me and the world my scum sweetheart   We met long ago with a flirt and a stare   together ever since a lethal love affair   I tried to get out to get up and go   I was afraid of the fall the vertigo       You made me suffer guilt was your game   you had control of what I became   A rotten romance if I'd stayed I'd die   t'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye   Now I'm free on solid ground   no more of you pushing me around me around       {chorus}:   You're my scum sweetheart   You're the world you broke my heart   You're my scum sweetheart   You're the world you broke my heart       You're the world full of lies   how could I think of compromise?   It seems to me a solitaire affair   I was in need but you didn't care   Please stay away heartbreaker   you're not gonna be my soul taker   I've got friends that want to see you   they'd stay away if they had a clue       It's a black heart that I see   it's evil it'sbad and all in between   Whatever it is I'll do my part   to keep you from being their scum sweetheart
