Woodwork Lyrics - Singles - Godley And Creme

Oh I never knew you were so weak 

I never knew I was so strong 

Till you let go about a year ago 

And left me hanging on 

When you cut the thing that held us together 

You were pulling the wings off a fly 

Now you're back from the dead pushing a double bed 

And I wanna know why 

Oh you say it was a misunderstanding 

You never meant to let me down 

You say you love me still 

But your hand's in the till 

So why should I believe in you now 

Now I'm rich you popped up out of nowhere 

Through a hole in the net 

And all you say is, Hi, do you remember 

When I wanna forget 

(Chorus) 

You came crawling out of the woodwork 

Crawling out of the wood 

You came crawling out of the woodwork 

To suck my blood 

Crawling out of the woodwork 

For old time's sake 

Crawling out of the woodwork 

For a slice of cake 

You came crawling 

I didn't even know about the others 

Till I caught you in a cheap hotel 

Now I've always been lousy with faces 

But the pain rings a bell 

He was tall, he was rich and he was handsome 

He was everything that I'd never been 

Did you hang about till the money ran out 

Before crawling on back to me 

(Chorus) 

I never knew you were so weak 

I never knew I was so strong 

Till you let go about a year ago 

And left me hanging on 

When you cut the thing that held us together 

You were pulling the wings off a fly 

Now you're back from the dead pushing a double bed 

And I wanna know why 

(Chorus)
