Lay There & Hate Me (Live from the Montreal International Jazz Festival)

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 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 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 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, I've learned some things about myself I wish I didn't know Then 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 Lay there and hate me, better than being alone You 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 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 Then 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 Lay there and hate me, better than being alone You 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 Let me hear you shout With your eight-page letter And your favorite colors, your favorite colors Blood and black
