So your old love is through
And you're looking for someone new
Don't you, don't you try to lie
I've seen the longing glimmer in your eyes
So you're digging a shallow grave
For your heart because it won't behave
I'll grab a shovel, you grab a spade
And we'll dig that shallow grave
You need someone tonight
Someone to hold you tight
My darling, can't you see
That someone is me?
