Love Me Just Leave Me Alone

(الألبوم: This Way - 2001)

I saw you standing there
You had gold dust in your pocket and
You combed barbed wire
Through your hair
You thought I didn't notice
The skin on
Your teeth had a tear

To make me notice
You started to shout
Then you and all your minions
Started flapping your
Tiny arms all about
They said
You were a wise man
When did they teach
Wise men to pout?

I tried to forget you
But you tied bells to your name
They jingled every time I thought of you
Without shame
I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?

What's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then, love me
Just leave me alone

Your mother was a wolf bite
Your daddy was a cigarette
Your brother was a rose bud
Crossbred with a car wreck
Your sister was a stockbroker
But you ain't nothing but a turtleneck

What's the matter?
Does your love need a home?
Alright then!
Love me just leave me alone

It's not your little boy smile
It's not your little boy name
It's those big boy hands
That are the ones to blame

I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
Oh baby

What's the matter
Does your love need a home?
Alright then, love me
Just leave me alone

What's the matter
Does your love need a home?
Alright then, love me
Just leave me alone

Love me just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone

Leave me alone baby
