I've never been so suicidal in all my life
Gave you love and honesty
But you still cut me like a knife
You broke my stuff, and you broke my nose
You broke my heart
For taking off your clothes

All I ever wanted to do
Was make a good life for me and you

I can't change the stripes on my zebra
I know it might be hard, but I've got to leave her yeah
She's no good for me
Makes no changes I can see
I can't change the stripes on my zebra
(But I wish I could)

First it was so hard to see
I cared so much
Didn't know that you were lying through your teeth yeah
To break it off took all my strength, all my will
Now I'm in therapy
And I'm sending you the bill

All I ever wanted to do
Was make a good life for me and you

I can't change the stripes on my zebra
I know it might be hard, but I've got to leave her yeah
She's no good for me
Makes no changes I can see
I can't change the stripes on my zebra
(But I wish I could)

I can't change the stripes on my zebra
I know it might be hard, but I've got to leave her yeah
She's no good for me
Makes no changes I can see
I can't change the stripes on my zebra

I can't change the stripes on my zebra
(Can't change the stripes on my zebra)
I can't change the stripes on my zebra
(Can't change the stripes on my zebra)
She's no good for me
(Can't change the stripes on my zebra)
Makes no changes I can see
(Can't change the stripes on my zebra)
I can't change the stripes on my zebra
