Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You put me down, that's what I said
I hit the clouds and you kicked me in the head
Ain't that a strange thing for you to do?
I'll never get it now, together we were new
[Verse 2]
I don't need this, you don't want that
I wonder when you're gonna get up off my back?
You'd better keep me just while you may
You'd better stick around or get out the way
[Verse 3]
Why don't you want me?
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go?
[Verse 4]
Just straighten out your head and mind
Forget about the things that make you draw the line
Don't want to take warnings from you
Can't have much more of this, what are you tryin' to do?
[Verse 5]
Why did you want me?
You cannot know
Why love me?
[Verse 6]
Why did you want me?
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go?
[Verse 7]
There's got to be some other way
It's time to work it out, turn it blue from gray
Your cutting out is cutting in
We have no time to bleed, the blood is running thin
[Verse 8]
I don't need this, you don't want that
I wonder when you're gonna get off my back
You'd better keep me just where you may
You'd better stick around or get out of the way
[Verse 9]
Why don't you want me?
You cannot know
Why love me?
[Verse 10]
Why don't you want me?
You cannot know
Why love me
Then go?
