lyrics

My baby wants to kill me… she gonna kill me before I die
Said she don’t want to leave me… at least while I’m alive

Arsenic and Old Lace, that show’s always playing on TV
Poison, knives and cyanide, they’re lying there for all to see
Don’t know that I can trust that girl with that wicked gleam upside her eyes
She don’t really want to leave me, …don’t want to leave me alive.

Well my baby you know I love her
Though she doesn’t know a pot from a pan (if you know what I mean)
Well I’m coming home today she’s got something made
(Though it was an interesting shade of neon green)

I took a bit and something hit me she says “Have another bite.”
She don’t really want to leave me, don’t want to leave me alive.

Well, once I skipped the mystery meal, my baby led me to the spa
She insisted that I had a dip, and she insisted that the water was warm
“Well, baby why do you have that electrical heater,” and she said,
“Why don’t you take a dive”
She don’t really want to leave me, don’t want to leave me alive

Well, I threw some clothes upon me now and I headed to the garage
Wire cutters on the hood, the floor was slick with fluid, and I knew that something was off
Well I turned the key in the ignition
And she said, “Have fun taking a drive”
She don’t really want to leave me, don’t want to leave me alive

Oh, I think she gonna kill me now, gonna kill me before I die
