Lyrics[edit | edit source]

[that sounds good]

you're always walking around
with your head in the clouds
my little jealous game
sent you clutching again
we were wrapped up inside
inside of you every day
but i'll never get out

because of cristina
because of cristina
because of cristina
because of cristina

you say i'm different now
'cause you know i'm the same
like a dirty swimming pool
where the water is drained
we were wrapped up inside
inside of you every day
now i'm shaking all over
on the floor in the rain

because of cristina
because of cristina
because of cristina
because of cristina

i've seen your eyes
and i know that you're lying
walking the streets
and it's you i'm denying

because of cristina
because of cristina
because of cristina
because of cristina
