There were times when I could 5
Have murdered her
But you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to her

No, I don't want to see her

Do you really think 10
She'll pull through
Do you really think
She'll pull through
Do ooh ooh ooh

Girlfriend in a coma, I know 15
I know, it's serious
My, my, my, my, my, my baby, goodbye

There were times when I could
Have strangled her
But you know, I would hate 20
Anything to happen to her

Would you please
Let me see her

Do you really think
She'll pull through 25
Do you really think
She'll pull through
Do ooh ooh ooh

Let me whisper my last goodbyes
I know, it’s serious 30
