Carmine

Carmine.

Carmine, turn the screw and drive me mad

Come on, Carmine, everything I touch goes bad

Oh Carmine, believe I’ll catch you when you fall.

I think I’m just like some little boy who didn’t know I think I am

Just like some little boy who never knew

How could you, how could you

I’m like some little boy who just didn’t know at all

I’m like some little boy who didn’t know.

How could you, how could you

Carmine

Carmine

How could you, how could you.

You know I’ll take you home in a big black taxi cab

I’ll be there to support you before the porter can get there

We can go to my room and romance, start the fires, take a chance.

Just like some little girl that didn’t know, yeah

Just like some little girl that didn’t know

How could you, how could you

Just like some little girl you met, you did not know me

Just like some little girl that didn’t know.

How could you, how could you

Carmine

Carmine

How could you, how could you

Turn the screw, turn the screw, turn the screw, turn the screw

Turn the screw, turn the screw, turn the screw, turn the screw

How could you, how could you, how could you, tell me how could you.

Turn the screw and drive me mad

make me feel that everything I touch goes bad.

Just like some little boy who didn’t know, that’s how I feel

Just like some little boy who never knew a thing at all

Just like some little boy who doesn’t know, I swear I feel like

Some boy who doesn’t know.

How could you, how could you

Carmine

Carmine

How could you, how could you.

Carmine

Carmine

You treated me like some young boy who did not know

Carmine

How could you, how could you.

Carmine

Why do you wind me up and make me so sad, make me so

Carmine

You know there is no art to leaving no art to leaving no art to leaving, you know,

Carmine

Oh no there ain’t, Carmine

How could you?

Oh Carmine.
