Love Me Just Leave Me Alone

[Verse 1]   I saw you standing there.    You had gold dust in your pocket And you were combing barbed wire through your hair.   You thought I didn’t notice the skin on your teeth had a tear. [Interlude] [Verse 2]   To make me notice you started to shout. Then you and all your minions Started flapping your tiny arms all about. They said you were the wise man. When did they teach wise men to pout? [Verse 3]   I tried to forget you but you tied bells to your name. They jingle everytime I thought of you without shame. I tried to be unlovable.   Why couldn’t you do the same? [Chorus]   What’s the matter? Did your love need a home? Alright then. Love me just leave me alone. [Verse 4]   Your mother was a wolf bite; your daddy was a cigarette. Your brother was a rose bud cross breath like a car wreck. Your sister was a stockbroker but you ain’t nothing but a turtleneck. [Chorus]   What’s the matter? Did your love need a home? Alright then. Love me just leave me alone. [Interlude]            [Bridge]   It’s not your little boy smile it’s not your little boy name. It’s those big boy hands that are the ones to blame. I’m trying to be unlovable. Why couldn’t you do the same? [Chorus]   What’s the matter? Did your love need a home? Alright then. Love me just leave me alone. [Outro]   What’s the matter? Did your love need a home? Alright then. Love me just leave me alone. Love me just leave me alone. Love me just leave me alone. N.C. Leave me alone Baby.
