The Jaws Of The World Lyrics - Devotchkas

And I snatched her away from the jaws of the world 

but I drank up her oceans and dried up her pearls 

I acted reprehensibly 

I acted like she was sent here for me 

We go into the water 

and under the water 

and a wretched man gave his lovely daughter 

from a life of decency 

to half a thief like me 

And I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more 

I would trust you, but trust is such a dirty word 

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more 

I loved you, but love is like a dirty whore 

And I snatched her away from the jaws of the world 

but I drank up her diamonds and dried up her pearls 

I acted reprehensibly 

I acted like she was made for me 

We go into the water 

and under the water 

and baptized with the neighbor's daughter 

from a life of decency 

she saved a wretch like me 

And I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more 

I would trust you, but trust is such a dirty word 

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more 

I loved you, but love is like a dirty whore
