Hate runs through my blood But my tongue was in love But my heart was left above I've gotta leave you now I thought I'd never be shot down But girl, I'm black and blue So beaten down for you Well, I'm beaten down and blue Don't break away I'll waste away Don't break away Lay me out across the grain Hours I should have kept at bay I had no chance to get away I can't escape my own escape Even more when it's sweet to taste Red stares lead sense astray I look up and see for faith But girl, just lean over and say "Lay me down" you take my crown girl but she submerse me down sorry
