(Be my Valentine, be my Valentine)
(Be my Valentine, be my Valentine)
I'm a tinderbox, you're a spark
Shapes and shifting shadows fleet across the dark
Hear your prisoner, calling truce
You have chained my heart, and I can't cut you loose
Dangerous games with the tinder-sticks
Making the oil and the water mix
This is a problem that I can fix
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
I'm a carpenter, you're a gun
See I built the gallows that I'm walking on
Solo volunteer, for the blame
You have chained my heart, and I am not ashamed
Dangerous games with the tinder-sticks
Making the oil and the water mix
This is a problem that I can fix
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
I couldn't cut you loose
You were my love in the hangman's noose
This is a battle which needs a truce
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
(Be my Valentine, be my Valentine)
(Be my Valentine, be my Valentine)
(Be my Valentine, be my Valentine)
I couldn't cut you loose
You are the love in my hangman's noose
This is a battle that needs a truce
Be my Valentine
Be my Valentine
