A Journalist Falls In Love With Deathrow Inmate #16 Lyrics

I was writing his story and he gave me a look

He was very handsome, distractingly so

And I never dreamed that he'd be my boyfriend

He wrote me letters, daily from prison

That said, "I know I've killed a few

But none of those women were you"

I couldn't speak, it was over for me

I'd found my Grim Reaper Prince

Well, he said he loved me, cooked me dinner

He cut my lungs out and made me feel thinner

And I'll never forget him now that it's over

The life that we had 'til they strapped him down

Oh, but how all the girls were jealous

'Cause he liked me the best!

Oh, and I couldn't breathe, it was true love indeed

But now my grim prince is gone

Well, I said I loved him when they strapped him in

But he wasn't crying, he took it like a man

And the families watched him as he breathed his last

I got very angry when they started to laugh

And say "now he's got what's coming

He was due his lot"

Oh and I couldn't see, there were tears on my cheek!

Goodbye my grim reaper prince

Goodbye my grim reaper prince

Goodbye, goodbye, I'll see you in a while

Goodbye, farewell, good luck
