lyrics: ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear do what you want as long as you stay here i need you now, i love you so much more than you could know the christmas kids were nothing but a gift and love is a tower where all of us can live you'll change your name or change your mind and leave this fucked up place behind but i'll know, i'll know, i'll know i'll know, i'll know i'll know, i'll know i'll know, i'll know appearing unsightly, with devils inside me if you ever try to leave me, i'll find you, ronnie if you ever try to leave me, i'll find you, ronnie if you ever try to leave me, i'll find you, ronnie if you ever try to leave me, i'll find you, ronnie i'm leaving, phil, i'm leaving now i'm going to escape and you won't know how or where to find me when i'm gone i'll drink myself to death insi-i-i-i-ide this prison cell this prison cell so, get me out of here get me out of here get me out of here get me out of here you'll change your name or change your mind and leave this fucked up place behind but i'll know, i'll know, i'll know i'll know, i'll know i'll know, i'll know i'll know, i'll know story as a bonus: this song is about ronnie spector of the ronnettes (formerly known as veronica bennett) and phil spector's abusive relationship and her escape. phil kept her captive inside their home due to him not wanting her to 'disappear'. the house was surrounded by barbed wire and guard dogs so she couldn't leave, and he took her shoes as well so she couldn't escape. he threatened to kill her if she ever attempted to leave him, and even kept a golden coffin with a glass top 'to keep an on her when she's dead.' in order to get time away from him, she became extremely alcoholic in order to go to a sanitarium away from phil. with phil, she felt like she was in some sort of prison. she, with the help of her mother, escaped by telling phil she was going on a walk. he noticed that she was barefoot, so he let her. once she was out, she ran down the hill and out of their gates. the name 'christmas kids' comes from the two children he adopted for the two as a 'christmas gift', though i am pretty sure it was to keep her with him.
