Salt on My Wounds Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

One last slow blues to close the show
I see you dancin′ with her, and Lord, it hurts me so
And I wanna know why you brought her around here so soon
Why would you wanna rub salt in my wound?

I'm not bitter, and I won′t hold no grudge
I know she's your woman now, and I'll try not to touch
But I still wanna know why you brought her around here so soon
Baby, why you wanna rub salt in my wound?

Couldn′t you just wait ′til the healing hands of time
Squeeze this pain from my heart
And couldn't you wait just a little bit while longer
′Til my pride isn't torn apart? Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh


You′re gonna take your prize now, and just walk away
I'm gonna try to hold on and love another day
But I still wanna know why
You brought her around here so soon
Baby, why you wanna rub salt in my wound?

Baby, why you wanna rub salt in my wound?
Why, baby?
Why, baby?
Why you wanna rub salt in my wound?
Why, baby?
Why?
Why?

Why would you rub salt in my wound?
Why?
Why?
Why you wanna rub salt in my wound
Why?
Why, baby?
