With her head of boiling lead and his feet made of clay
If I don't get her love then I don't know which way,
Oh Lord, give me just one more chance
Every time I gaze on her face
I think of the passion inside and I bow in disgrace
I wish I could be just half a man
Oh Lord, give me just one more chance.
