BEN HARPER - Lay There & Hate Me lyrics
rate me<BR>
Lay there and hate me<br>
Lay there and burn<br>
One side to the other<br>
You toss and turn<br>
Never trust a woman, never trust a woman<br>
Who loves the blues<br>
<br>
Mistake number one, I made it three times a day<br>
We'd best talk over how there is nothing left to say<br>
I feel like an underpaid concubine<br>
Who has overstayed her welcome<br>
<br>
You gave me an eight-page letter front and back<br>
Written in your favorite colors, blood and black<br>
Choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone<br>
You lay there and hate me, better than being alone<br>
Had to fight your way in, you got to fight your way out<br>
Ain't no fool like the fool you love<br>
So let me hear you shout<br>
<br>
Shake down, break down<br>
Just can't sit still<br>
You cut off your hair and sold it<br>
For your pretty little pill<br>
I've learned some things about myself I wish I didn't know<br>
<br>
You gave me an eight-page letter from front and back<br>
Written in your favorite colors, blood and black<br>
You choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone<br>
You lay there and hate me, better than being alone<br>
Had to fight your way in, you got to fight your way out<br>
Ain't no fool like the one you love<br>
So let me hear you, hear you shout<br>
<br>
Lay there and hate me<br>
Cold as a stone<br>
I just hope it's better than sitting alone<br>
Never trust a woman who loves the blues<br>
<br>
Gave me an eight-page letter front and back<br>
Written in your favorite colors, blood and black<br>
Choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone<br>
Lay there and hate me, better than being alone<br>
Had to fight your way in, now you got to fight your way out<br>
Ain't no fool like the fool you love<br>
So let me hear you, let me hear you shout<br>
<BR><BR>
