My Bed of Thorns Songtext
von Gladys Knight & the Pips

Make your bed hard, and you have to lay down in it
A love that takes years to find can be lost in just one minute
Since I hurt you and you′ve gone, I regret the day I was born

And now I lay me down to cry
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns

I took you for granted, thought I had you under my thumb
Mistook kindness for weakness, how could I have been so dumb
To think that you would stay, though I filled your life with scorn


Now I lay me down to cry
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns

I lied to you so much, I had a million defenses
But now that you've gone, and I′ve come to my senses
I know that in love, you tell the truth or pay the consequences

I've misused you, and now I'm all alone
It′s my fault we broke up, now I′m reaping what I've sown
My eyes are filled with tears, my heart and soul are torn

And now I lay me down to cry
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns
