love me just leave me alone

i saw you standing there

you had gold dust in your pocket and

you combed barbed wire

through your hair

you thought i didn't notice

the skin on

your teeth had a tear

to make me notice

you started to shout

then you and all your minions

started flapping your

tiny arms all about

they said

you were a wise man

when did they teach

a wise man to pout?

i tried to forget you

but you tied bells to your name

they jingled everytime i thought of you

without shame

i tried to be unlovable

why couldn't you do the same?

what's the matter?

does your love need a home?

all right then

love me

just leave me alone

your mother was a wolf bite

your daddy was a cigarette

your brother was a rose bud

crossbreed with a car wreck

your sister was a stockbroker

but you ain't nothing

but a turtleneck

whats the matter?

does yout love need a home?

alright then!

love me just leave me alone. i tried to be unlovable

why couldn't you do the same?

what's the matter

does your leave need a home?

all right then

love me

just leave me alone

it's not your little boys smile

it's not your little boys name

it's those big boy hands

that are the ones to blame

well

i tried to be unlovable

why couldn't you do the same?

what's the matter?

does your love need a home?

all right then

love me

just leave me alone

what's the matter?

does your love need a home

all right then

love me

just leave me alone

love me just leave me alone

love me just leave me alone

love me just leave me alone
