Once when I was all alone,nI called you, and you weren't at homenMy heart fell like a stone, to the groundnTo the ground, to the groundnWhy, when morn had dawned on me,nAnd anger grew like ecstasy,nAnd Leda threw the swan on me and I fell to the ground,nTo the ground, to the groundnn-Chorus-nOh, don't say I want you,nDon't stay this way, believe me,nI wasn't trying to play the gamenWhere someone's to blame,nI'll stay the same 'til you change your mindnAnd you'll change your mindnnI could have broken you, nI should have spoken for younYou should have seen it was turning me onnDon't you know it's true?nThere are worse things, perverse things I could donnOnce when I was all alone,nI could not find the telephonenSo instead I burned your pretty home to the groundnTo the ground, to the groundnn-Chorus-
