by Aimee Mann
�
A monkey knows how you'll
Creating want by holding back
Some reverse pyromaniac
Let me
, baby, try

I brought my window up and

I turned my back to lure you in
To rifle through�what I might've been
Let me
, baby, try

Baby please let me

Let me be your heroine
Hate the sinner but love the

Let me be your heroine

We have crossed the Rubicon
The ship awash our rudder

The rats have fled but I'm hanging on
Let me
, baby, try

Baby please let me

Let me be your heroine
Hate the sinner but love the

Let me be your heroine

Baby please let me

Let me be your heroine
Hate the sinner but love the

Let me be your heroine
