Dig Your Polished Nails Into The Dirt
Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams
You know it tears my heart out when you
Flirt with danger and any stranger
You're not as stupid as I look
Before I could read you wrote the book
Cursed since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true
Held my hand when I got my first tattoo
I was naked when it penetrated
Told everyone I'd slept with you
Thought you'd like that, knew you wouldn't deny it
St. Peter's gonna be unfaithful
Tell God he's got a dirty angel
Cursed since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true
Baby you're not the first here on earth clear
Cause I'm still here and I'm cursed too
Cursed like you
Hush baby sleep now
We all love you we always did
Cursed since your birth dear
And your worst fears have all come true
Baby you're not the first here on earth clear
Cause I'm still here and I'm cursed too
Cursed like you
Hush baby stop now
We all miss you we always will
