| You cheated on yourself
|
| With some strangers again
|
| You can talk all about nothing
|
| Until the bells are ring
|
| I watched you fall in love
|
| With anyone who would talk to you
|
| And you know that record skipping
|
| Until the night is through
|
| Baby don’t you go
|
| Baby don’t you go back there
|
| Baby don’t you go back to the pain
|
| He beat you on the streets
|
| And wrote you poetry from jail
|
| Got out and sold the motorcycle
|
| And went straight back to hell
|
| Some friends shot him down
|
| Cuz he didnt have the money
|
| Couldn’t put him in the ground
|
| Cuz he didn’t have enough money
|
| Baby don’t you go
|
| Baby don’t you go back there
|
| Baby don’t you go back to the pain
|
| You always wanted just to show him off
|
| Until your face curled like a fist
|
| Now you can’t even tell him off
|
| Anyway he never listened
|
| You could hear your own heart beating
|
| Maybe you could just listen to yourself
|
| Now you scream at your baby
|
| Just because she was born
|
| And you can’t trust yourself
|
| With your best friends man
|
| You went a home with the ball bat
|
| Because he called you by a different name
|
| Now you’re underneath the gunrack
|
| And everythings the same again
|
| Baby don’t you go
|
| Baby don’t you go back there
|
| Baby don’t you go back to the pain
|
| Now the light is belly shinin'
|
| You tried not to shut it out
|
| You’ll do whatever it takes
|
| To keep both feet on the ground
|
| Nobodys comin' back
|
| And when the night is young
|
| You can hear those engines running
|
| And then you’re off again
|
| Baby don’t you go
|
| Baby don’t you go back there
|
| Baby don’t you go back to the pain |
