Catholic Charm

Catholic Charm
(Lynott ?)

Woman you think I don't know what you're up to
You think I don't know when to turn and run
The time we spent in Heaven
That fooled ya, took confession
We drank our Holy Water gin
And it didn't seem like such a sin

It's destiny
Amazing to me
It didn't seem like a sin to me

Now you can hate me if you want to
But don't first forget the things that I taught you
I taught you how to cry
And I taught you that big boys often lie

Listen
Don't forget the things the things that I've taught you
I taught you how to cry
I taught you big boys often lie

I hung you round my neck just like a charm
But I really didn't mean you no harm
But you had your gun and your heart aimed too high
So I taught you how to cry
Did you offer no resistance
Laying her love on the line
It was a tedious existence
And she'd leave at any time

The night we spent in Heaven
Your sacred heart and mine like fools we took confession
We drank our Holy Water gin
It didn't seem like a sin

Now you can hate me if you really want to
But try to remember things I taught to you
I taught you how to cry
I taught you that big boys lie

Now woman you don't think I know what you're up to
You think I don't know what you're turning on to
Watch your face in cigarette smoke

Now you can hate me if that's what you want to do, but
Don't forget the things I taught to you
You hung around my neck like a Catholic Charm
I really didn't mean you no harm
I kept you on

Woman you don't think I know what you're up to
What you're turnin' on to
Put a penny in that old man's hat
He got to thank you for that

Woman
