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>
