Every Time I Tell

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of whiskey
Jack fell down and broke his crown and now he doesn't miss me
I get the gist, we're like Sisyphus, it's a constant rerun
He's looking at me now like he's gonna pull a big gun
He hit me, I took a shot
He kissed me and I forgot
I kill him every time I tell
Every time I tell, every time I tell
I want you back, Jack
Oh well
Oh, I'll be nimble, I'll be quick, don't burn me with that candlestick
I've been blowing out my lungs, I seem to speak these days in tongues
So here's the holy hyperbole, he says he wants to marry me
I say, "where the hell you been?", the game of sorry strikes again
He hit me, I took a shot
He kissed me and I forgot
I kill him every time I tell
Every time I tell, every time I tell
I want you back, Jack
My cheeks are bright red, my voice is blue
You say I scared you, you really scared me too
You say, "why don't you leave?" and I feel ashamed
Well, he's not always this way, so now who is to blame?
He hit me, didn't bruise me, yeah
He kissed me, I'll always forget
I kill him every time I tell
Every time I tell, every time I tell
He hit me, I took a shot
He kissed me and I forgot
I kill him every time I tell
Every time I tell, every time I tell
