I hate to see you lying there, curled up in a ball
I hate to smash your pretty face against the fucking wall
But I’m a desperate man girl, I’m down on my knees

I hate to see you crying, I 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 wanna go?

Won’t you ever understand?
You’re my woman, and I’m your man

And everytime I hear your name
The floodgates open, blood it rains
And I can’t see where I went wrong
You can’t leave while I’m not strong

(And I can see you run and hide)
Oh baby won’t you ever let me
(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 just so torn about
Put them back girl, back up on the shelf
On the shelf yeah

You and me will be forever
I’m your hero, and you’re my treasure

And everytime I hear your name
The floodgates open, blood it rains
And I can’t see where I went wrong
You can’t leave while I’m not strong

(And I can see you run and hide)
Oh baby won’t you ever let me
(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

Everytime I hear your name
The floodgates open, blood it rains
And I can’t see where I went wrong
You can’t leave while I’m not strong

(And I can see you run and hide)
Oh baby won’t you ever let me
(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
