They left the room for a minute or two
Now I know exactly what I'm going to do
It's been so long since your vital signs went
And you don't look the same in that oxygen tent
Now if I get I get caught
I don't care if I get hung
I can't let my baby linger on in an iron lung
Good-bye my sweet
Understand what I've done
You can't suffer no more if the motor won't run
I pulled the plug!
I pulled the plug!
Yeah, I pull the plug on my love!
I pulled the plug!

Good-bye my sweet
Understand what I've done
You can't suffer no more if the motor won't run
I pulled the plug!
