Lay there and hate me
Lay there and burn
One side to the other you toss and turn
Never [bad word] a woman
Who loves the blues

Mistake number one
I made it three times today
We'd best talk it over
How there's nothing left to say
I feel like an underpaid concubine
Who's overstayed her [bad word] 
You gave me and eight-page letter
Front and back
Written in your favorite colours
Blood and black
Choose your words as careful
As you'd choose your own grave stone
Lay there and hate me
Better than being alone
Had to fight your way in
You got to fight your way out
Ain't no fool like the fool you love
So let me hear you shout

Shake down break down
Just can't sit still
You cut off your hair and sold it
For your pretty little pill
I've learn some things about myself
I wish I didn't know

You gave me and eight-page letter
Front and back
Written in your favorite colours
Blood and black
Choose your words as careful
As you'd choose your own grave stone
Lay there and hate me
Better than being alone
Had to fight your way in
Got to fight your way out
Ain't no fool like the fool you love
Now let me hear you shout

Lay there and hate me
Cold as a stone
I just hope it's better than sitting alone
Never [bad word] a woman who loves the blues

Gave me and eight-page letter
Front and back
Written in your favorite colours
Blood and black
Choose your words as careful
As you'd choose your own grave stone
Lay there and hate me
Better than being alone
Had to fight your way in
Now got to fight your way out
Ain't no fool like the fool you love
Now let me hear you shout
