half of everything

you walk in my house with her lipstick over your face

you tell me you got news for me

well

do you think i can't see straight?

do you think i can't recognize her perfume on your clothes

you tell me you got news for me

well i don't need to be told

let me guess

she's looking for a little peace of mind

i don't want to cause any more pain but could i please have what's mine?

she's got such a pretty please i never could say no

well

just take a half of everything and then please go

now i know right now you're thinking i'm some crazy kind of fool

but the truth of the matter is i'm just like you

she's some kind of voodoo woman

she said she can't use me anymore

that's what she said to me she said

i can't use you anymore

i don't need her loving

i don't need her kissing

i don't need for you to tell me all that i've been missing

i don't need her loving

i don't need her kissing

i don't need for you to tear me down and tear me down again

every time you give a little more

she could still use a little more

every time you give a little more

she could still use a little more

and when you can't give a little more

she could still use a little more

she could still use a little more

she could still use a little more

tell her that she done me

that she done me good

tell her that she done me

like a lady should

and if i ever see her

and i hope i never do

i might have to show her

just what a love can do

the sun ain't going to shine

and the rain is gonna fall

because i put a spell on you

and all the years i cried

all the years that i tried

to save a stillborn love

i know what you're thinking

pretty soon i'll howl at the moon

but you better believe me

because i was just like you

mister

read the writing on the wall

get out while you're still whole

while you're still breathing

i don't need her loving

i don't need her kissing

i don't need for you to tell me all that i've been missing

i don't need her loving

i don't need her kissing

i don't need her to tear me down again
