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
