Half Of Everything

(albüm: Don't Get Weird On Me Babe - 1991)

You walk in my house with her lipstick over your face
You tell me you got news for me
Well, do you think I can't see straight?
Do you think I can't recognize her perfume on your clothes
You tell me you got news for me
Well I don't need to be told

Let me guess, she's looking for a little peace of mind
I don't want to cause any more pain but could I please have what's mine?
She's got such a pretty please I never could say no
Well, just take a half of everything and then please go

Now I know right now you're thinking I'm some crazy kind of fool
But the truth of the matter is I'm just like you
She's some kind of voodoo woman
She said she can't use me anymore
That's what she said to me she said
I can't use you anymore

I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing
I don't need for you to tell me all that I've been missing
I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing
I don't need for you to tear me down and tear me down again

Every time you give a little more
She could still use a little more
Every time you give a little more
She could still use a little more
And when you can't give a little more
She could still use a little more
She could still use a little more
She could still use a little more

Tell her that she done me
That she done me good
Tell her that she done me
Like a lady should
And if I ever see her
And I hope I never do
I might have to show her
Just what a love can do

The sun ain't going to shine
And the rain is gonna fall
Because I put a spell on you
And all the years I cried
All the years that I tried
To save a stillborn love

I know what you're thinking
Pretty soon I'll howl at the moon
But you better believe me
Because I was just like you
Mister, read the writing on the wall
Get out while you're still whole
While you're still breathing

I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing
I don't need for you to tell me all that I've been missing
I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing
I don't need her to tear me down again
