You Should Know Where I’m Coming From

What if I said I would break your heart?

What if I said I have problems that made me mean?

What if I knew I would just rip your mind apart?

Would you let me out?

Maybe you can stop before you start

Maybe you can see that I just may be too crazy to love

If I told you solitude fits me like a glove

Would you let me out?

You oughta know where I'm coming from

How I was alone when I burned my home

And all of the pieces were torn and thrown

You should know where I'm coming from

What if I said I was just too young?

What if I said I was built on bricks of carelessness and crumbs?

What if I said I'd be gone before I could come?

Would you let me out?

You oughta know where I'm coming from

How I was alone when I burned my home

And all of the pieces were torn and thrown

You should know where I'm coming from

Your sought out ways

My own, my own

But you turn me away from my low blows

Boy, you shoulda known

You oughta know where I'm coming from

How I was alone when I burned my home

And all of the pieces were torn and thrown

You should know where I'm coming from

You oughta know where I'm coming from

How I was alone when I burned my home

And all of the pieces were torn and thrown

You should know where I'm coming from
