Lyrics
[Verse 1]
An ending fitting for the start
You twisted and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dart
Shattered the lamp but the darkness that cast us
[Verse 2]
You know you've got it the wrong way 'round
You just shut me up and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy, kicked out to the world
The world kicked back, a lot fucking harder now
[PreChorus]
If you wanna try, if you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh-oh, oh
I know you lie, I know you lie
I'm still in love with you
Uh-oh, oh
Can't take me anywhere, I'll take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, I can't take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
[Chorus]
Oh, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
Oh, you can't stand me now
[Chorus]
No, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
[Verse 3]
Have we enough to keep it together?
Or do we just keep on pretending?
And hope our luck is never-ending
You tried to pull the wool, I wasn't feeling too clever
And you take all that you're lendin'
Until you needed mendin' now
[PreChorus]
If you wanna try, if you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh-oh, oh
I know you lie, all you do is make me cry
And all those words, they ain't true
[PreChorus]
Uh-oh, can't take me anywhere
I can take you anywhere
Can't take me anywhere
I won't take you anywhere
I took you anywhere you want to go
[Chorus]
Oh, you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
[Chorus]
You can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
[Outro]
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
