A Monster Is A Terrible Thing To Waste

They better watch out
If they try to take you away
They don't know what might happen
And a monster is a terrible thing to waste

I needed someone who could teach me
Teach me to respect my
Face in the mirror
And not put so much on my own shoulders

I never wanted to believe
That it would happen
But you're the one who saved me
When my demon's jaws opened

And they better watch out
They better not try
To take you from me
They can't even see

I needed someone who could help me
Forgive me for my faults
And tell me I wasn't the cause

I never ever believed
That anyone would try
To save a wretch like me

And they better not try
To take you from me
Cause I won't let it happen
And if I try to stop them

They better not try
They better believe
Believe in ghost stories
Let their fear do the talking

They better not try
They better believe
That I am the beast
And know what I mean
Cause a monster is a terrible thing to waste
