Bad Actress

(album: Regular Urban Survivors - 1996)

When you laugh, it just makes me cry,
When you cry, it just makes me smile,
When you smile, well that makes me mad,
When you're mad, it just makes me laugh.
When you're high, it just makes me low,
When you're low, it just picks me up,
You feel up, well that gets me down,
When you're down, it makes me feel high.

And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less,
Blame it on the bad actress.
And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess,
Blame it on the bad actress.

If you leave, that means I'll stay,
If you stay, I'll just have to go,
When you go then I'll have to wait,
If you wait I'll just have to leave.

And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less,
Blame it on the bad actress.
And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess,
Blame it on the bad actress.

If I was to say anything you'd say the opposite,
Maybe try to suggest something and just get torn to bits,
We could both think up the same thing and you'd say say something else,
We could not agree on one thing except for how it felt.

And you never gave me anything, but I ended up with less,
Blame it on the bad actress.
And I never asked for everything, but I ended up a mess,
Blame it on the bad actress.

And you never gave me anything, never gave me anything,
Never gave me anything, never gave me anything,
Never gave me anything but I ended up a mess,
Blame it on the bad actress.
