Little Black Mess

I should try to be good forever and ever, amen And so I'll touch wood and hope I don't get caught again Without my lines and off the mark Looking for signs I can't see here in the dark My opening won't be a great success Till you come get me out of this little black mess I'll play my part I'll say never ever again Then cross my heart, cry until you say when A little cheat while you turn away Things we repeat one more time day after day I've lost my appetite so none the less It fits like a glove now my little black mess Who's to say if we'll know When it's time for this old thing to go And so if I'm good, could you forgive how I've been? You misunderstood, now if you'd just let me begin to put on my face I'll put on the room, go take my place, once again then we can resume It's true I'm sure to die out here unless You come get me out of this little black mess Please come help me out of this little black mess
