Lay There & Hate Me

Ben Harper

Compositor: Ben Harper / Jesse Ingalls

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 3 times today
We best talk over hows theres
Nothing left to say
I feel like an under paid concubine
Whose overstayed her welcome

You gave me an 8 paged letter
Front and black
Written in your favorite colors
Blood and black

You choose your words as careful
As you choose your own gravestone
You lay there and hate me
Better then being alone

Had to fight your way in
You've got to fight your way out
Ain't no fool like the fool you love
So let me hear you shout

Shakedown breakdown
Just can't sit still
You cutoff 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 8 paged letter
Front and black
Written in your favorite colors
Blood and black

You choose your words as careful
As you choose your own gravestone
You lay there and hate me
Better then being alone

Had to fight your way in
You got to fight your way out
Aint no fool like the one you love
So let me hear you shout

Lay there and hate me
Cold as a stone
I just hope it's better then sitting alone
Never trust a woman who loves the blues
