  • She told me not to step on the cracks
    I told her not to fuss and relax
    Pretty little face stopped me in my tracks
    But now she sleeps with one eye open
    That's the price she'll pay

    I took a knife and cut out her eye
    I took it home and watched it wither and die
    Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile
    That's why she sleeps with one eye open
    That's the price she'll pay

    I said, hey, girl with one eye
    Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
    I said, hey, girl with one eye
    I'll cut your little heart out 'cause you made me cry

    I slipped my hand under her skirt
    I said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt
    Oh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt
    That's why you sleep with one eye open
    But that's the price you pay

    I said, hey, girl with one eye
    Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
    I said, hey, girl with one eye
    I'll cut your little heart out 'cause you made me cry

    You made me cry
    You made me cry
    You made me cry

    I said, hey, girl with one eye
    Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
    I said, girl with one eye
    Get your filthy fingers out my pie

    I said, hey, girl with one eye
    Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
    I said, hey, girl with one eye
    I'll cut your little heart out 'cause you made me cry Writer/s: Chris Morris, David Ashby, Dominic Peach, James Mccool, Matthew Allchin
