Finish up your coffee, love 
 it's getting cold 
 let's finish up this fight tonight 
 before the sun draws neigh and I'm old 

 Have mercy on me I'm a girl 
 though I'm cruel and you cry 
 I won't shiver cause I know how to break a man 
 I know how to break a man in two 

 Still you're suffering, my love 
 o, who's to blame? 
 you might be tired, but I'm not through fanning the flame 

 o, by the tiding of my tounge 
 I lie and sing what can't be unsung 
 my soul torn in two by the things I say to you 
 by the things that I say 

 I know how to break us man, in two
