Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you say it's dead and gone
Yes, I know you're wrong
Cut and slash
Sharpest knife
It won't die
[Verse 2]
Poisoned cup
Drank it up
It won't die
No fire, no gun, no rope, no stone
It won't die
[Chorus]
Why you gotta shove it in my face?
As if you put me in my place
'Cause I don't care if you or me is wrong or right
Ain't gonna spend another night
In your bed
In your bed
[Verse 3]
Laws of men are just pretend
They ain't mine
Love so good, love so bad
It won't die
Some talk too long, they know it all
And I just smile and move on
[Verse 4]
Words ain't free, like you and me
I don't mind
I don't mind
[Chorus]
Why'd ya have to be so mean and cruel?
The dogs are loose, I'm on to you
You ball and chain
Together from the dawn to dusk
Can't call it leavin', 'cause it's just
[Refrain]
I never came
I never came
I never came
I never came
I never came
I never came
[Outro]
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah
Ooh
