I hate to see you lying there curled up in a ball I hate to smash your pretty face against the f**king 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
