She Who Must Be Obeyed Lyrics

She is the one I must return to

I oughta learn to

Cut loose the rope

All that she does is suffocate me

And then placate me

So I still cling to hope

She is the flame you can't extinguish

I can't relinquish

Her hold on me

How can you tame what can't be tied down?

I am resigned now

To never being free

She calls, I turn around

The walls come crashing down

How can you teach your heart to choose for whom it beats?

I'd fight but there's only defeat

She has me in full retreat

She is the pain that can't be measured

If left to fester

Oooh! The wounds won't heal

Time and again I make my mind up

But then I wind up

Back on her battlefield

She calls, I turn around

The walls come crashing down

How can you teach your heart to choose for whom it beats?

I'd fight but there's only defeat

She has me in full retreat

She calls, I turn around

The walls come crashing down

How can you teach your heart to choose for whom it beats?

I'd fight but there's only defeat

She has me in full retreat

And when she calls my name

I answer once again
