Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone Lyrics

I saw you standing there You had gold dust in your pocket And you combed barbed wire through your hair You thought I didn't notice The Skin on your teeth had a tear To make me notice you started to shout Then you and all your minors Started flapping your tiny arms all about They said you were a wise man When did they teach wise men to pout? I tried to forget you But you tied bells to your name They jingled every time I thougt of you Without shame I tried to be unlovable Why couldn't you do the same? CHORUS What's the matter? Does your love need a home? Àlright then Love me, just leave me alone Your mother was a wolfbite Your daddy was a cigarette Your brother was a rosebud Crossbred with a car wreck Your sister was a stockbroker But you ain't nothing but a turtleneck CHORUS It's not your little boy smile It's not your little boy name It's those big boy hands that are the ones to blame I tried to be unlovable Why couldn't you do the same? CHORUS
