Carmine, turn the screw and drive me mad
Come on, Carmine, everything I touch goes bad
Oh Carmine
Believe I'll catch you when you fall

I think I'm just like some little boy
Who didn't know I think I am
Just like some little boy who never knew
How could you, how could you
I'm like some little boy who
Just didn't know at all
I'm like some little boy who didn't know
How could you, how could you carmine
Carmine how could you, how could you

You know I'll take you home in
A big black taxi cab
I'll be there to support you before
The porter can gеt there
We can go to my room
And romancе, start the fires, take a chance

Just like some little girl that didn't know
Yeah
Just like some little girl that didn't know
How could you, how could you
Just like some little girl you met
You did not know me
Just like some little girl that didn't know

How could you, how could you carmine
Carmine how could you, how could you

Turn the screw, turn the
Screw, turn the screw, turn the screw
Turn the screw, turn the
Screw, turn the screw, turn the screw
How could you, how could you, how could you
Tell me how could you

Turn the screw and drive me mad
Make me feel that everything I touch goes bad

Just like some little boy who didn't know
That's how I feel
Just like some little boy who never
Knew a thing at all
Just like some little boy who doesn't know
I swear I feel like
Some boy who doesn't know

How could you, how could you carmine
Carmine how could you, how could you

Carmine carmine
You treated me like some young
Boy who did not know carmine
How could you, how could you

Carmine
Why do you wind me up and make me so sad
Make me so carmine
You know there is no art to leaving no
Art to leaving no art to leaving, you know
Carmine oh no there ain't, Carmine
How could you? Oh Carmine
