I hate to see you lying there, curled up in a ball   I hate to smash your pretty face against the fucking wall   But I’m a desperate man girl, I’m down on my knees      I hate to see you crying, hate to see those tears   But you’re the one who’s sitting there just tossing out the years   Why you doing this? Why you wanna go?   Won’t you ever understand? You’re my woman, and I’m your man      And everytime I hear your name   The floodgates open, blood it rains   And I can’t see where I went wrong   You can’t leave while I’m not strong      I can see you run and hide - oh baby won’t you ever let me   See you run and hide - oh baby won’t you ever    Let me live my life   ‘Cause I’m afraid I just don’t love you      So pick yourself on up girl, straighten yourself out   Pick up all the wasted years, you’re so torn about   Put them back girl, back in the shelf   On the shelf yeah   You and me will be forever, I’m your hero, and you’re my treasure      And everytime I hear your name   The floodgates open, blood it rains   And I can’t see where I went wrong   You can’t leave while I’m not strong      I can see you run and hide - oh baby won’t you ever let me   See you run and hide - oh baby won’t you ever    Let me live my life   ‘Cause I’m afraid I just don’t love you      And everytime I hear your name   The floodgates open, blood it rains   And I can’t see where I went wrong   You can’t leave while I’m not strong      I can see you run and hide - oh baby won’t you ever let me   See you run and hide - oh baby won’t you ever    Let me live my life   ‘Cause I’m afraid I just don’t love you
