I've been caught in a trap again
So I twist and turn
Lured in by a seraphim
Will I ever learn
Feeling broken by your hand
Of tenderness
My life never goes to plan
I must confess
Don't try to tell me what's good for me
I'll take my chances with this tragedy
My mother said I should not mess with love
My mother said I should not mess with love
Give me time I'll work it out
But I'm off the track
In too deep, what's it about
Can I turn back
Falling down, I should give up
When I hurt myself
Burning up like a paper cup
I've lost my health
Don't try to tell me what's good for me
I'll take my chances with this tragedy
My mother said I should not mess with love
My mother said I should not mess with love
-solo-
Vicious circle of ignorance
I can't maintain
My lifes had enough violence
But I can't refrain
Don't try to tell me what's good for me
I'll take my chances with this tragedy
My mother said I should not mess with love
My mother said I should not mess with love
She said "don't mess with love, baby"
She said "don't mess with love, baby"
