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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
