   A#              C
Because of curiosity
All the Vandals had to see
    A#
The golden throne
   Dm
Of Ancient Rome
     A#                       F
And brought the city to its knees
   A#              F
Because of curiosity

Because of curiosity
I'm just riddled with anxiety
I'm the lowest level
As a matter of fact
I often dwell for days and days

D#                    C
And when I see your smiling face
F       Dm
I'm so disgraced
D#                        C
And if you're holding out on me
      G#
I get curious
    A#               F
As curious as I can be
  G#
Curious
   A#              F
Because of curiosity

Curiosity killed the cat
But satisfaction brought it back
In terms of this cat
As a matter of fact
I'll meet you at the old mouse hole
I'll meet you at the old mouse hole

When I see your smiling face
I'm so disgraced
If you're holding out on me
I get curious
As curious as I can be
Curious as I can be
Curious as I can be
Yeah, curiosity
