Wrapped Around Your Finger

Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos

You consider me your girlfriend

Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes

Hypnotized by you, I should linger

Staring at the ring 'round your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge

Things they would not teach me in college

I can see the destiny you sold

Turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger

I'll be wrapped around your finger

I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name

But I know what you're up to just the same

I will listen hard to your tuition

And you will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger

I'll be wrapped around your finger

I'll be wrapped around your finger

Trouble on the deep blue sea behind me

Vanish in air, never find me

I will turn your face to alabaster

Then you will find your servant is your master

And you'll be wrapped around my finger
