Believe me tonight, tonight
I'm going back to fight
Wretched Matilda's inside
My heart, my heart,
stop beating so fast
Make as if you didn't know that
Matilda's come back to me
My heart, I don't want you to say
She's lovelier than when she went away
Matilda, who's come back to me
My heart, stop being overjoyed
Re member you were once
destroyed by
Matilda, who's come back to me.
Fellas, please don't go away.
Tell me that I mustn't stay.
Matilda's coming back today.
My hands will start to shake again
when you remember all the pain.
Matilda's come back to me.
You'll want to beat her black and blue,
but don't do it, I beg of you.
Matilda's come back to me.
My hands, remember all the years,
remember when you caught my tears
Matilda's come back to me
My hands,
you'll want to touch her now
Please try and be strong somehow
Matilda's here, she's coming now,
now
Mama, can you hear me yell
Your baby boy's gone back to hell
Matilda's come back to me
Johnny, champagne right away
I know you've been saving
it for the holiday
Matilda's come back to me
Go ask the maid if she heard what I said
Tell her to put the best sheets
on the bed
Matilda's come back to me
My friends don't come on me no more
I've gone and crashed
through heaven's door
My sweet Matilda's here
Once more
Once more
