Heaven knows I've got myself to blame, but I'd still like forgiveness all the same. "No, hell mend you," she said. "You think this is just some stupid game?" I thought it would be better to confess. Rather that than live in silent stress. "No, hell mend you," she said. "You put my patience to the test. Do you think that you look smart? Are you trying to break my heart?" A lucky guy given the angel's share, but stole the Devil's cut - then lost the pair. "So hell mend you," she said. "You'll take what's coming." Fair's fair. "It's far from your first offence. Have you no common sense? God give me strength."
(I'll give a writing credit on the lyrics for my Mum and my Granny who quoted many of these lines to me on a regular basis during my younger daze).
