Joanne Shaw Taylor - The Dirty Truth lyrics

This can't be good, my baby's got that look again Like he's about to come undone, grab his gun and count to ten I'm in the line of fire, he's shooting sparks like a live wire My love's grown old so he wants to throw my soul to the coals & fire I've been careful where I'm treading, Dreading the road that's ahead He's depending on it ending with me winding up dead He's up for raising hell In his mind, I've been tried and ruled untrue But he'll be the first to hit the ground That's the low down The dirty truth I've tried to let it slide but he's defined by his foolish pride He's in deep, he can't eat I've tried to creep out while he's asleep If he can't have me then no one will But what he doesn't know is that I'd rather shoot Than be k**ed This can't be good, my baby's got that look again I've just watched him come undone, grab his gun and he's three from ten I've been wrestling with confessing but it's a blessing That there's no proof But I just shot my baby down And that's the low down The Dirty Truth
