Ant - Lyndale Avenue User's Manual lyrics

[Hook] We could try to change to make a new life Don't mean we gon' do right tonight We could try to change to make a new life Don't mean we gon' do right tonight [Refrain] Hey mother, don't let them know you They hunger to hold you down and control you Hey lover, don't let 'em love you They'll lay on top of you to stay above you [Hook] {X2} [Verse 1] We all need something we can stake the blame on It can't be your dance that made this rain storm It must be the alcohol, and you hate this place cause the town's too small And everybody there's so fake Be a brand new day if they was half awake Smile'n your face like 'yes sir' Waitin til ya turn your back so they can whisper And you ain't tryin' to love none of 'em Na, ya know better right? Ya learned something But even If The first few burst through They only pursue cause they wanna hurt you It comes with a smokers cough Gonna turn it on until it's broken off Cos suffering didn't crush his 'just not enough' They wanna hold you down until they lock you up [Hook] {X2} [Refrain] Hey sister, don't let them touch you So friendly when they're close enough to cut you Hey mister, don't let them break you
