Tell me, tell me was she worth it?
Seeing me so distant and angry
Tell me, tell me, was she worth it?
Pushing me away

I hear she found an American soldier
And moved to an island in Greece
I bet she, I bet she met him
Long before you were gone
I bet she thought of leaving long before break of dawn
With a safe of blood money
For her american honey

Tell me, tell me, did she get off on baby seal fur coats and
Blood-red lancome make-up?
Tell me, did she make your ego float?
I bet she fixed our break-up

I hear she found an American soldier
And moved to an island in Greece
I bet she, I bet she met him
Long before you were gone
I bet she thought of leaving long before break of dawn
With a safe of blood money
For her american honey

My tears were caught and me a tiger in a cage
Pain has pushed me over
I heard somewhere it´s good to stay aroused in rage
It hurts to be drop-dead sober

And oh I held it in
And oh I rode it out
And oh it made me scream in silence

I was told your blood was cold
And mine just turned the same
I looked at you with ambivalent eyes of love
And such a blackened shame
For being you and not belong
Not with you and not alone,
Not with anyone

And oh I cut my wrists
And oh I wore my shame
And oh I fed on blame in private
And oh I held it in
And oh I rode it out
And oh it made me scream in silence

I hear she found an American soldier
And moved to an island in Greece
I bet she, I bet she met him
Long before you were gone
I bet she thought of leaving long before break of dawn
With a safe of blood money
For her american honey
