Little Black Mess

I should try to be goodForever and ever, amenSo I'll touch woodAnd hope I don't get caught againWithout my linesAnd off the markLooking for signsI can't see here in the darkMy opening won't be a great successTill you come get me out ofThis little black messI'll play my partAnd say never ever againThen cross my heartCry until you say whenA little cheat while you turn awayThings we repeat one more timeDay after dayI've lost my appetite so nonethelessIt fits like a glove nowMy little black messWho's to say if we'll knowWhen it's time for this old thing to goAnd so if I'm goodCould you forgive how I've been?You misunderstoodNow if you'd just let me beginTo put on my faceI'll put on the roomGo take my placeOne more timeThen we can resumeIt's true I'm sure to die out here unlessYou come help me out ofThis little black mess
