I was fooled by intrigue and a downright lustful need
An endless 6 month dry spell had me down upon my knees
She was my summer ghost, but now the seasons keep on turning
Can’t you smell the smoke-I swear to God that I’m burning
Woman, you tore me up and left me in shambles (X2)
Tell me, what am I to do with all these pieces of me and you? (X2)
Didn’t they used to call you the powdered sugar queen?
I hear you crossed so many lines, you couldn’t keep your nose clean
Oh, when I first met you girl, you’d just taken a fall
You had a storm ragin’ in your head with no rainbows at all
Woman, you tore me up and left me in shambles (X2)
Tell me, what am I to do with all these pieces of me and you? (X2)
So now you went and taught yourself a new wanderer’s tune
And got all the snakes in this town to turn and follow you
You were always dancing for the crowd just like some drunken pantomime
But, now you’re goin’ down that bad road on your own this time
Woman, you tore me up and left me in shambles (X2)
Tell me, what am I to do with all these pieces of me and you? (X2)
Woman, you tore me up…
