lay there & hate me

lay there and hate me

lay there and burn

one side to the other

you toss and turn

never trust a woman

never trust a woman

who loves the blues

mistake number one

i made it three times a day

we'd best talk over how there is nothing left to say

i feel like an underpaid concubine

who has overstayed her welcome

you gave me an eight-page letter front and back

written in your favorite colors

blood and black

choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone

you lay there and hate me

better than being alone

had to fight your way in

you got to fight your way out

ain't no fool like the fool you love

so let me hear you shout

shake down

break down

just can't sit still

you cut off your hair and sold it

for your pretty little pill

i've learned some things about myself i wish i didn't know

you gave me an eight-page letter from front and back

written in your favorite colors

blood and black

you choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone

you lay there and hate me

better than being alone

had to fight your way in

you got to fight your way out

ain't no fool like the one you love

so let me hear you

hear you shout

lay there and hate me

cold as a stone

i just hope it's better than sitting alone

never trust a woman who loves the blues

gave me an eight-page letter front and back

written in your favorite colors

blood and black

choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone

lay there and hate me

better than being alone

had to fight your way in

now you got to fight your way out

ain't no fool like the fool you love

so let me hear you

let me hear you shout
