She's a queen of the captive, she'll get you every time,
Bitterness is her name, un-forgiveness is her crime,
She's a queen of the captive and she's looking 'round for you,
Forgive and forget - easier to say than do.

And I loved her once...once long ago,
She pulled and took me under,
I tried to break away, but the ropes just held me down,
She made me say I loved her.

Well, she's the queen of the captive, she'll get you every time,
Bitterness is her name, un-forgiveness her crime,
She's a queen of the captive and she's looking 'round for you,
Forgive and forget - easier to say than do.

And she lies there, looking so tempting, and mistaken for the one you want to be with,
But soon she's stolen your heart and ripped your life in two,
All your old friends are now hated.

Ooh,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie,
Ooh,
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

She's a queen of the captive, she'll get you every time,
Bitterness is her name, un-forgiveness her crime,
She's a queen of the captive and she's looking 'round for you,
Forgive and forget - easier to say than do.

She's a queen of the captive, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Queen of the captive, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Queen of the captive, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie,
Lie, lie, lie, lie.
