Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone Songtext
von Jewel

I saw you standing there
You had gold dust in your pocket
And 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 minions
Started flapping your tiny arms all about
They said you were a wise man
When did they teach wise men to pout?
I tried to forget you
But you tied bells to your name
They jingled every time i thought of you
Without shame


I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
Chorus
What′s the matter?
Does your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me, just leave me alone
Your mother was a wolf bite
Your daddy was a cigarette
Your brother was a rosebud
Crossbred with a car wreck
Your sister was a stockbroker
But you ain't nothing but a turtleneck
Chorus
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 tried to be unlovable

Why couldn't you do the same?
Chorus
