|Girlfriend in a coma  
Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know, I know - it's serious
I know - it's serious
 
Girlfriend in a coma, I know
Girlfriend in a coma  
I know - it's really serious
I know, I know - it's really serious
there were times when I could
 
have 'murdered' her
There were times when I could have murdered her
(but, you know, I would hate
But, you know, I would hate anything to happen to her
anything to happen to her)
No, I don't want to see her
NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER
 
Do you really think
Do you really think she'll pull through?
she'll pull through?
Do you really think she'll pull through?
Do you really think
 
she'll pull through?
Girlfriend in a coma  
Girlfriend in a coma I know
I know, I know - it's serious
I know - it's serious
 
there were times when I could
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
have 'strangled' her
Baby goodbye
(but, you know, I would hate
 
anything to happen to her)
There were times when I could have strangled her
WOULD YOU PLEASE
But, you know, I would hate anything to happen to her
LET ME SEE HER!
Would you please let me see her?!
Do you really think
 
she'll pull through?
Do you really think she'll pull through?
Do you really think
Do you really think she'll pull through?  
she'll pull through?  
 
Let me whisper my last goodbyes
Let me whisper my last goodbyes
I know - it's serious...
