[Verse 1]
Oh, my love
Sympathy's in short supply
There's simply not enough
Lord, God above
Scratching at the bones
To find my diamond in the rough

[Chorus]
Girl, I want you to care
But you fed me to the lions
You fed me to the lions
Oh, I'm black and blue
You've abandoned me to the lions

[Verse 2]
Oh, my love
So short the claws that scratched
At our disintegrating trust
Lord, God above
With heavy head between my hands
Our diamonds turn to dust

[Chorus]
Girl, I want you to care
But you fed me to the lions
You fed me to the lions
Oh, what can I do?
You've abandoned me to the lions
[Refrain]
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions

[Bridge]
I'm calling a ceasefire
I'm begging you, please sign
My petition for release
I'm calling a ceasefire
I'm begging you, please sign
My petition for release
I'm calling a ceasefire
I'm begging you, please sign
My petition for release

[Chorus]
Girl, I want you to care
But you fed me to the lions
You fed me to the lions
Oh, what can I do?
You've abandoned me to
Girl, I'd go anywhere
But you're casting me in irons
You're casting me in irons
Oh, I'm black and blue
You've abandoned me to the lions
[Refrain]
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
