Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone - Jewel

I saw you standing there

Pride in your pocket

You combed barbed wire

Through your hair

You thought I didn’t notice

The skin on Your teeth had a tear

To make me notice

You started to shout

Then you and all your midgets

Started flapping your

Tiny arms all about

They said

You were a wise man

When did they teach

A wise man to pout?

It’s not your little boy hands

It’s not your little boy name

It’s those big boy hands

That are the ones to blame

I tried to be unlovable

Why couldn’t you do the same?

What’s the matter?

Does your love need a home?

All right then, love me Just leave me alone

Your mother was a wolf bite

Your daddy was a cigarette

Your brother was a rose bud

Crossbreed with a car wreck

Your sister was a stockbroker

But you ain’t nothing

But a turtleneck

And you were hypnotized

Just standing there

In the middle of the street

You had iron butterflies as kisses

You had gold dust in your teeth

You used one eye as a hostage

The other one to stab your meat

I tried to forget you but

You tied bells to your name

And they’d jingle everytime

I thought of you

Without shame

Your arms are like corset strings

I tried to be unlovable

Why couldn’t you do the same?

What’s the matter

Does your leave need a home?

All right then, love me Just leave me alone

It’s not your little boys hands

It’s not your little boys name

It’s those big boy hands

That are the ones to blame

Well, I tried to be unlovable

Why couldn’t you do the same?

What’s the matter?

Does your love need a home?

All right then, love me Just leave me alone

What’s the matter?

Does your love need a home

All right then, love me Just leave me alone

Love me just leave me alone

Love me just leave me alone

Love me just leave me alone
