Jewel - Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone lyrics
[Jewel - Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone lyrics]
You had gold dust in your pocket
And 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 minions started
Flapping your tiny arms all about
They said you were the wise man
When did they teach wise men to pout?
I tried to forget you
But you tied bells to your name
They jingle every time I thought of you
Without shame i tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
What's the matter? Did you love need a home?
Alright then love me, just leave me alone
Your mother was a wolf bite
Your daddy was a cigarette
Your brother was a rose bud
Crossbred like a car wreck
Your sister was a stockbroker
But you ain't nothing but a turtleneck
What's the matter? Did you love need a home?
Alright then love me, just leave me alone
Oh, oh oh, woah, woah, woah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
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
Well, I'm trying to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
Oh Baby, what's the matter?
Did your love need a home? Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
What's the matter?
Does your love need a home? Alright then
Love me, just leave me alone
Love me, just leave me alone
Love me, just leave me alone
