[Verse 1]
Nothing clings like Ivy frightened by the dark
Though she cuts deep, it never leaves a mark
No one quite like Ivy ever gets it straight
What she believes, she won't negotiate
[Chorus]
All the words of tenderness
That never quite got through
She said, "You know how young girls are
From my contempt for you"
[Verse 2]
Outside in the hollow, she may dare herself
For there may be a serpent in the grass
Nothing clings like Ivy, trying to scare herself
And it may strike or wait for her to pass
[Chorus]
All the words of tenderness
That she never possessed
"So what's the use of promises?
I had my fingers crossed"
[Instrumental Break]
Nothing clings like Ivy frightened by the dark
Though she cuts deep, it never leaves a mark
No one quite like Ivy ever gets it straight
What she believes, she won't negotiate
[Chorus]
All the words of tenderness
That never quite got through
She said, "You know how young girls are
From my contempt for you"
[Verse 2]
Outside in the hollow, she may dare herself
For there may be a serpent in the grass
Nothing clings like Ivy, trying to scare herself
And it may strike or wait for her to pass
[Chorus]
All the words of tenderness
That she never possessed
"So what's the use of promises?
I had my fingers crossed"
[Instrumental Break]
