"Both of them lived until both of them died, so goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde."

~~~

You took me from my home, Mr. Barrow

and took me on a wild adventure

robbing banks, outlaws on the run

sure, at the beginning it was dandy and fun

but you don't love me, do you?

I didn't know what I was getting into

that damned wife of your brother's

can't keep her mouth shut

and I miss my mama

I miss my mama

oh, won't you take me back to my mama?

I've known all along that we were to die

could we just lie? side by side?

We're in the papers, Bonnie & Clyde

oh, yes kiss me

make love to me, my darling

you say you'll hurt me

you say I deserve more

but I don't care

I'm in love with you

and that look in your eyes

tells me

that you're in love with me too

hungry eyes

needing eyes

pleading eyes

those eyes will be the death of me

they think I'm your wife

your brother's wife looks down at me

and you let her

why do you let her do that to me?

you don't even fight for me!

but you fought for me, darling

and all this killing

is killing me

slowly

surely

we're going home to mama now

thank you, darling

but mama doesn't want anything to do with me anymore

"Mr. Barrow, you know what you're doing."

mama lets you take me away again

and I cry

but you hold me when I cry

and kiss away my tears

so I guess that you do love me

because if you didn't

you'd leave me somewhere

when I tried to leave

you ran after me

and told me to never scare you like that again

so I think you love me

and I love you too

so if both of us are to die

we may not make it to each other's side

I know one thing that's for sure

we'll both either live loving

or die trying.
