Butterfly Lyrics - Singles - Lloyd Cole

You were an innocent child before I laid my hands on you 

And all that pain that you held inside 

Was just waiting to bloom in a darkened room 

And you just flew right into the light and came alive 

My little butterfly 

Well you'd never known love and you'd never known pain 

But you found out that they were just like wine and champagne 

You could drink a little more, then you hurt a little less 

And you get that butterfly feeling underneath your dress 

And your promises will turn into lies 

Then you will fly 

My little butterfly 

Now I'm lying here babe on your side of the bed 

And I've got unclean thoughts flying through my head 

And I'm thinking about love, yes I'm thinking about pain 

And I'm thinking about some way that I might feel good again 

Yes I'm thinking about my little butterfly
