You're the reason I don't trust no one And I don't love no one From the places I've come Sad songs I've sung All the times I've been stung For you bring the worst out of me (Hollar!) And I can't down these tears I've cried The heaviness inside Left me so petrified Tried ta keep love alive But I became too tired 'cause you bring the worst out of me (Eh, eh, eh, he hey) [Bridge:] I wish I could change the way things have gone And start life anew and now maybe once again I don't know anywhere but something must've went wrong And all I can say [Chorus] Is when I sing this song I get so teary eyed 'cause you get under my skin Can't let you suck me dry I was gonna marry you, have kids for you, Stay true to you, live life wit you But look what you've done to me (me) And I compromised all my time And rearranged my life To make sure you was fine 'cause our love was on the line And I became so unkind 'cause you brought the worst out of me (You brought the worst out of me) This is (this is) how the story goes Those ones who know When its out of control You work (work) and you work (work) And some one gets hurt And I guess that be me (When I sing) When I sing this song I get so teary eyed 'cause you get under my skin Can't let you suck me dry I was gonna marry you, have kids for you, Stay true to you, live life wit you But look what you've done to me (me) (Eh, eh, eh, he hay) [Bridge] (When I sing) Is when I sing this song I get so teary eyed 'cause you get under my skin Can't let you suck me dry I was gonna marry you, have kids for you, Stay true to you, live life wit you But look what you've done to me (me)
