They say a woman's a fool for weeping
|
A fool to break her own heart
|
But I can't hold the secret I'm keeping
|
I'm breaking apart
|
Can't seem to mind my own business
|
Whatever I try turns out wrong
|
I seem like my own false witness
|
And I can't go on
|
|
I cover my ears, I close my eyes
|
Still hear your voice and it's telling me lies
|
Telling me lies
|
|
You told me you needed my company
|
And I believed in your flattering ways
|
You told me you needed me forever
|
Nearly gave you the rest of my days
|
|
Should've seen you for what you are
|
Should never have come back for more
|
Should've locked up all my silver
|
Brought the key right to your door
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
You don't know what a chance is
|
Until you have to seize one
|
You don't know what a man is
|
Until you have to please one
|
|
Don't put your life in the hands of a man
|
With a face for every season
|
Don't waste your time in the arms of a man
|
Who's no stranger to treason
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
