It's a hot one, leaning on the wall

Like a monkey practically swinging

From the doorknob



I am waiting to feel brave

To save face

To step outside all of these holes that you've made



If I cry

Hard enough

Long enough

Fast enough

It will disappear



I hope she looks like you but with innocence

With a smile and with a soul, with happiness



Laugh

Hard enough

Long enough

Loud enough

It will disappear



Let me give a little life

Just a little bit of life for love

Just a little bit of life

And breathe it up



I can cover results of the war

Hat hides the eye that you kissed with your fist

When you called me a whore



When you swallow

At the bottom of a glass of rum

You make me filthy angry

Make me 'fraid

Make me sorry and not know what for



Look

Hard enough

Long enough

Far enough

You will disappear



Give a little bit of life

Just a little bit of life for love

Just a little bit of life

And breathe it up

Just a little bit of life

Wanting naught but change

Just a little bit of life

And give life away



Bravely I remember nothing

When I'm being questioned about the "love," baby

I'm standing on the bruises that I'm hiding in my mind

Thinking nothing of them, darlin'



Just a little bit of life

Just a little bit of life for love

Give a little bit of life and breathe it up

Give a little life

Wanting naught but change

Give a little bit of life

Give life away
