Lyrics Lust - Willis Earl Beal

Lust

I am sitting here on this stool
Talkin' right to you
Whoever that is
I am sitting here and have been since
3:11 this morning
Yes, I have
I had to make myself some tea
'Cause I just could not sleep
Starin' at the cat
You know my soul, He did keep
Lust, it got me again
Lust, it got me again
Oh, it did, yes, it did
Those girls on those movie screens
I imagine how they laugh
Smilin' at me
It’s written all over their faces
Tryin' to make me feel
Just like I was a disgrace
Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?
Why don’t you leave me alone?
Leave me alone
Keep me awake at night
Don’t pull me back to sleep
Make me feel like I’m alright
Make me feel like a
It’s been a long, long while
It’s been a very long time, oh, oh
Ever since I was a kid
I could not keep my eyes awake from the boredom
I told myself I was alright
I told myself I was normal inside
Yes, I did
But everything I saw let me know
That I was screwed up and mixed up and confused
I began to feel so violent
And, lurking real strong but silent
I felt just like a fool
Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?
Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?
Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?
Let me go to sleep
Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?
Let me go to sleep
