Bluebeard's Last Key

Bluebeard had left his wives before,
And darling, in freedom you have left me.
You offered your all, but I needed more,
My cat claws scratch in curiosity.
But if you didn’t want me to open the door
Why’d you offer the forbidden key?

You offered your all, but I wanted more.
My cat claws scratch in curiosity.
How many lovers have you set-up before
To sever your bands with disloyalty?
If you didn’t want us to open the door,
Why tempt us with the forbidden key?

How many lovers have you lost before
By severing the bands of loyalty?
Cut-throat anger, threats of divorce,
Brothers, sisters, will you rescue me?
Baby, if you didn't want me to open the door
Why did you cut me a master key?

Cut-throat anger, threats of divorce,
Brothers, sisters, will you rescue me?
Sweet love, I have always been your whore
Isn’t that why you first came to me?
And if you don't want me walking out your door
Baby, don’t hand me the fucking key!
