When you told me you hated my guts, I thought you were nuts
I thought you were just palling around
When you told me you wanted to go, I said there’s the door
I didn’t know you were serious
When you told me you had a knife and you wanted my life
I thought you were just havin some fun
When you told me that you had a gun and you pointed at one
I thought you were delirious
How was I supposed to know that you’re insane?
How was I to know you’d blow out my brains?
When you told me "Hey look right here"
Took all my beer and broke the bottle on my skull
When you told me "I’ll take your life with this here knife"
And you cut me with the letter opener
Well I thought it was a joke as I started to choke
My blood rose up past my throat
When you told me you wanted to see what I looked like inside
I said let's take the ride, I thought you were just bein funny
How was I to know you were a killer?
When you told me you wanted to see what I looked like cold in a casket or a coffin
I thought you were just bein sweet
How was I to know?
You wanted me dead, so I’m dead, are you happy?
You wanted me dead, now I’m dead, are you happy?
You wanted me dead, so I’m dead, are you happy?
You wanted me dead, now I’m dead, are you happy?
Now I’m dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I’m dead, are you happy yet?
I’m dead, are you happy?
I thought you were just palling around
When you told me you wanted to go, I said there’s the door
I didn’t know you were serious
When you told me you had a knife and you wanted my life
I thought you were just havin some fun
When you told me that you had a gun and you pointed at one
I thought you were delirious
How was I supposed to know that you’re insane?
How was I to know you’d blow out my brains?
When you told me "Hey look right here"
Took all my beer and broke the bottle on my skull
When you told me "I’ll take your life with this here knife"
And you cut me with the letter opener
Well I thought it was a joke as I started to choke
My blood rose up past my throat
When you told me you wanted to see what I looked like inside
I said let's take the ride, I thought you were just bein funny
How was I to know you were a killer?
When you told me you wanted to see what I looked like cold in a casket or a coffin
I thought you were just bein sweet
How was I to know?
You wanted me dead, so I’m dead, are you happy?
You wanted me dead, now I’m dead, are you happy?
You wanted me dead, so I’m dead, are you happy?
You wanted me dead, now I’m dead, are you happy?
Now I’m dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I'm dead so are you happy?
Now I’m dead, are you happy yet?
I’m dead, are you happy?

When you told me you wanted to see what I looked like inside
I thought you were just bein funny
How was I to know you were a killer?
How was I supposed to know that you wanted my blood?
When you told me to open the stove and climb on in, I thought you were jokin
I thought it was a prank so I did it
When you told me you wanted to see what I looked like cold in a casket or a coffin
I thought you were just bein sweet
How was I to know, how was I to know, how was I to know
How was I to know you wanted me dead
So I’m dead, are you happy?
You wanted me dead, now I'm dead so are you happy?
