you punish me
for think i have never done
she yearns for me
but will push her away
she says i am the worst kind
i say open the door and explore
then tell me what you find
you punish me
i offered you the keys
they were really mine
sorry, they had a little rust
but they will still gold
even without their shine
she telephones with the news
he has moved and she is still a puzzle
but i do not care about the clues
her bark is worse than her bite
and i do not have the muzzle
you punish me
i guess i will have to wait to be free
