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 want to go?
Won't you ever understand? You're my woman and I'm your man!
Every time I hear your name
Floodgates open, blood it rains
And I can see where I went wrong
But you can't leave while I'm not strong
(I can see you run and hide) Oh baby won't you ever let me
(I can 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 those wasted years, you're so torn about
Put them back girl, back up on the shelf
You and me will be forever, I'm your hero and you're my treasure
Every time I hear your name
Floodgates open, blood it rains
And I can see where I went wrong
But you can't leave while I'm not strong
(I can see you run and hide) Oh baby won't you ever let me
(I can 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
