The first time that I saw you
You were the lady of my dreams.
The very next time I had to make you mine,
And I treated you like a queen.
The third time that I saw you
You treated me with such distaste,
Now I wish I'd never seen your face.
I'm in disgrace,
I'm in disgrace.
Because I fell for your pretty face,
I'm in disgrace. He's in disgrace.
I'm in disgrace. He's in disgrace.
You captured me in your embrace.
.
There's no use blaming me
And saying I was your ruination
Because it was you equally
That got us into this situation.
It wasn't lust, it wasn't rape,
It was just a mistake
I'm in disgrace. He's in disgrace.
I'm in disgrace. He's in disgrace.
Because I fell for your pretty face.
I'm in disgrace. She's in disgrace.
I'm in disgrace. He's in disgrace.
You captured me in your embrace.
.
Was your love real or faked?
Or was it only infatuation?
Picture you in my place.
I wish I'd acted with a little less haste.
I'm in disgrace.
I'm in disgrace.
Because I fell for your pretty face.
Oh what a waste. He's in disgrace.
I'm in disgrace. He's in disgrace.
Now my name's dirt and I'm disgraced.
I'm in disgrace.
