Lyrics

Love, I said real love, is like feelin' no fear
When you're standin' in the face of danger
'Cause you just want it so much

A touch from your real love is like heaven taking the place of something evil
And lettin' it burn off from the rush
Yeah, yeah (fuck)

Darlin', darlin', darlin'
I fall to pieces when I'm with you, I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (are ruined)

Love, I said real love, it's like smilin' when the firing squad's against you
And you just stay lined up
Yeah (fuck)

Darlin', darlin', darlin'
I fall to pieces when I'm with you, I fall to pieces (bitch)
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (can I get a fuckin' hallelujah?)
(Are ruined)
(Bitch)

(Looking at me like a magazine)
My rose garden dreams set on fire by fiends (can I get a fuckin' hallelujah?)
(Sippin' on ya like a Coca-Cola)
And all my black beaches (can I get a fuckin' hallelujah?)
(Are ruined)
(Looking at me like a magazine)
My celluloid scenes are torn at the seams (can I get a fuckin' hallelujah?)
(Sippin' on ya like a Coca-Cola, yeah)
And I fall to pieces (bitch)
I fall to pieces when I'm with you

(Why)
'Cause I love you so much
I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (are ruined)

(Bitch)
(Are ruined)
(Bitch)
(Are ruined)
(Fuck)
