Better Lyrics:
[ Note: Everquest is usually fun, until... ]
Oh I'm leaving my corpse back in Freeport
cuz it's far too late at night
Yeah I'm leaving my body in Freeport
Oh I can't be-lieve I died
I couldn't get away
It wasn't fun today
I thought that you would group with me
We'd kill an orc or two or three
Then forage in the woods and make some stew
But how I died, never really knew
See, you just ran out
But I ain't about to go
grouping again beside you
No, I can't say you made me cry
You'll pay man! Yeah, I should make YOU die!
Oh I'm leaving my corpse back in Freeport
cuz it's far too late at night
Yeah I'm leaving my body in Freeport
You can loot it if you like....
Oh I'm leaving my corpse back in Freeport
cuz it's far too late at night
Yeah I'm leaving my body in Freeport
Oh I can't be-lieve I died
I couldn't get away
It wasn't fun today
I thought that you would group with me
We'd kill an orc or two or three
Then forage in the woods and make some stew
But how I died, never really knew
See, you just ran out
But I ain't about to go
grouping again beside you
No, I can't say you made me cry
You'll pay man! Yeah, I should make YOU die!
Oh I'm leaving my corpse back in Freeport
cuz it's far too late at night
Yeah I'm leaving my body in Freeport
You can loot it if you like....
Original Lyrics:
I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
And a happiness that died
I let it get away
Keep paying every day
When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
And how I cried over losing you
See I'm down and out
And I ain't about to go
Living my life without you
Hey every day, I made you cry
I'm begging girl, 'til the day I die
I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you, babe
And a happiness that died
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
And a happiness that died
I let it get away
Keep paying every day
When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
And how I cried over losing you
See I'm down and out
And I ain't about to go
Living my life without you
Hey every day, I made you cry
I'm begging girl, 'til the day I die
I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you, babe
And a happiness that died
