Lay There & Hate Me

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 today

We'd best talk over how there's nothin' left to say

I feel like an underpaid concubine

Who's 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 bein' 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, ay-hey

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 to back

Written in your favorite colors, blood and black

You choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone

You may lay there and hate me, better than bein' alone

Had to fight your way in, got to fight your way out

Ain't no fool like the one you love

Now let me hear you, hear you, hear you shout

Lay there and hate me, cold as a stone

I just hope it's better than sittin' 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

You choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone

Lay there and hate me, better than bein' alone

Got 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

I said let me hear you, let me hear you

Let me hear you shout

Hell, yeah

You just lay there

With an eight-page letter

In your favorite colors, blood and black
