Well, I praised her beauty to slow her pace
Gave her diamonds just to weigh her down
Aimed my finger at her and shot her full of trust
Showed her love is more than just another noun

I enslaved her with the freedom to do anything she pleased
Never did I realize that I was such a beast

Hm-mmm

Just when I thought everything was going fine
There goes project number nine

Hm-mmm-mmm-mmmm

I was so ashamed I could not show my face
I thought She put a Bounty on my head
I deprived her of a life built on hatred and digust
For that offence she wants to see me dead

Can anybody tell me, just how can it be
She wants to share her ignorance with lesser men than me

Hm-mmm

If She wants to Eat with the swine
Go ahead, project number nine

And as I wobble through my Golden days
Getting by on a leg and a half
Soft dough oozing from the cracks along the crust
I raise my head and let out a squeeky laugh

I wonder If She'd miss me If she'd known the things I've seen
As I plowed my Way through projects number ten to seventeen

Hm-mmm

Just pour me one more drink of wine
And let the devil take project number nine
