Mabel, oh Mabel
It hurts like a dagger
Seeing you out when you leave
Sweeter than honey
Keeping me up like caffeine
Ohh, I never had it in my soul to go
But this is it now - no more staying close
And every word is like a thorn
But just for what it's worth
You still mean the world
To me, hmmm, hmmm
Mabel, oh Mabel
Put your working boots on
You're such a magnificent machine
Kill the overachiever in me
God, you're all I want to be, hmmm
Ohh, I never had it in my soul to go
You know full well that I won't follow
So while I break my teeth on gold
I thought that you should know
How you still got a hold
On me, hmmm, hmmm
Mabel, oh mabel
Too cruel to surrender
So you see me out as I leave
But frost couldn't settle
There's spring in your footsteps
Lilies rise up whenever you weep
