Lay There & Hate Me (Harper Ben)

Lay there and hate me Lay there and burn One side to the other You toss and turn Never trust a woman, never trust a woman Who loves the blues Mistake number one, I made it three times a day We'd best talk over how there is nothing left to say I feel like an underpaid concubine Who has overstayed her welcome You gave me an eight-page letter front and back Written in your favorite colors, blood and black Choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone You lay there and hate me, better than being alone Had to fight your way in, you got to fight your way out Ain't no fool like the fool you love So let me hear you shout Shake down, break down Just can't sit still You cut off your hair and sold it For your pretty little pill I've learned some things about myself I wish I didn't know You gave me an eight-page letter from front and back Written in your favorite colors, blood and black You choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone You lay there and hate me, better than being alone Had to fight your way in, you got to fight your way out Ain't no fool like the one you love So let me hear you, hear you shout Lay there and hate me Cold as a stone I just hope it's better than sitting alone Never trust a woman who loves the blues Gave me an eight-page letter front and back Written in your favorite colors, blood and black Choose your words as careful as you'd choose your own gravestone Lay there and hate me, better than being alone Had to fight your way in, now you got to fight your way out Ain't no fool like the fool you love So let me hear you, let me hear you shout
