[Verse 1]
Take me back to your swimming pool
You lovely little—
Foolish thinking I could have you
Naked in a trench coat
I'll see you on Sunday
I wanna hear them sing
[Verse 2]

Strike me, pierce me straight through the heart
Oh-oh-ah-ah

My lady of mercy
Strike me, pierce me straight through the heart
Oh-oh-ah-ah
[Outro]
Oh-oh-ah-ah
Oh-oh-ah-ah
