You were an innocent child before I laid my hands on you
And all that pain that you held inside Was just waiting to bloom in a darkened room And you just flew right into the light and came alive My little butterfly Well, you'd never known love and you'd never known pain But you found out that they were just like wine and champagne You could drink a little more, then you hurt a little less And you'd get that butterfly feeling underneath your dress And your promises would turn into lies Then you'd fly My little butterfly Now I'm lying here, babe, on your side of the bed And I've got unclean thoughts flying through my head And I'm thinking about love, yes I'm thinking about pain And I'm thinking about some way that I might feel good again Yes, I'm thinking about my little butterfly |

You walk in my house with her lipstick over your face
You tell me you got news for me Well, do you think I can't see straight? Do you think I can't recognize her perfume on your clothes You tell me you got news for me Well I don't need to be told Let me guess, she's looking for a little peace of mind I don't want to cause any more pain but could I please have what's mine? She's got such a pretty please I never could say no Well, just take a half of everything and then please go Now I know right now you're thinking I'm some crazy kind of fool But the truth of the matter is I'm just like you She's some kind of voodoo woman She said she can't use me anymore That's what she said to me she said I can't use you anymore I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing I don't need for you to tell me all that I've been missing I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing I don't need for you to tear me down and tear me down again Every time you give a little more She could still use a little more Every time you give a little more She could still use a little more And when you can't give a little more She could still use a little more She could still use a little more She could still use a little more Tell her that she done me That she done me good Tell her that she done me Like a lady should And if I ever see her And I hope I never do I might have to show her Just what a love can do The sun ain't going to shine And the rain is gonna fall Because I put a spell on you And all the years I cried All the years that I tried To save a stillborn love I know what you're thinking Pretty soon I'll howl at the moon But you better believe me Because I was just like you Mister, read the writing on the wall Get out while you're still whole While you're still breathing I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing I don't need for you to tell me all that I've been missing I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing I don't need her to tear me down again |

Now that the low life has no meaning
Because you've been there, now you're gone But your heart won't keep from cheating And stringing you along Stranger to me, well what's the lowdown Are you man enough to pray? For a better way of living I believe I've lost my way Oh Mae, could you please hold me I believe I might fall I believe that I might fall Could there be a better way of living Better than the easy way? Could the wretched be forgiven Are you man enough to pray? I wore my heart upon my sleeve To court the wretched and the free But if by chance I'd lost my way Would you help me find it, babe? Oh Mae, could you please hold me I believe I might fall I believe that I might fall I wore my heart upon my sleeve To court the wretched and the free But if by chance I'd lost my way Am I man enough to pray? |

Strange to see you babe, ain't nothing down here free
Did you lose your ticket? hope you weren't looking for me I'm still wearing the scars I got from being your fool You messed me up pretty good babe I didn't mean to ruin you I remember when I first saw you babe you were looking pretty good You said you were looking for love, well then why didn't you? You just sat there taking everything you could get Never thought one day you might have to pay for it Did you ever dream baby one day you might fall And feel your back against the wall? Did you ever dream baby one day you might crawl did you ever dream? Now when you're putting on your face I guess that you feel kind of low Knowing that you past your best and you've got nothing to show Well, baby, you know just as well as I some fool is going to fall your way Only this time around you might have to pay for it Did you ever dream baby one day you might fall And feel your back against the wall? Did you ever dream baby one day you might crawl? Did you ever dream, baby? When you had no need, baby Did you ever dream That you might have to Pay for it? |

She said she didn't understand him so she guessed he was deep
He swore he'd never been to college and was too tall to be So as she led him to the slaughter thinking she'd be laughing last Now the lady in the question is his better half She's got to be the stupidest girl I've ever seen She don't care who, why, or where I've been She's got a right to be, with all that's wrong with me But she doesn't want to understand That she's a girl and I'm a man He thought that women and drink would make a man out of him But the extent of his studies left a jaded man So as she led him to the altar he was easily led And when they asked him if he did, well then, this is what he said She's got to be the stupidest girl I've ever seen She don't care who, why, or where I've been She's got a right to be, with all that's wrong with me But she doesn't want to understand That she's a girl and I'm a man Every time she's near me She gives me a new reason to be alive To try to get right She looks right through me She says you're not cool, you're just like me You're a stupid man Get over here, hold my stupid hand She's all right... Weird On Me I didn't mean to get you mad at me, Misty Swear I'd never try and turn your brown eyes blue It's just that having got a taste for this whiskey Maybe I've been missing someone like you Maybe I've been tired Maybe I've been lonely I've been lonely and blue Maybe I've been missing someone like you But I was only trying to be your friend Don't get weird on me, babe Swear I'd never try to mix things up again Don't get weird on me, babe Billy says that you're wearing his ring, now He says he took away the sadness from your smile Guess I tried, hell, if I'd only known how I guess I'll learn when you're walking down that aisle Yes, and I'll be sad and I'll be lonely I'll be lonely and blue Yes and I'll be missing someone like you But I was only trying to be your friend Don't get weird on me, babe Swear I'd never try to mix things up again Don't get weird on me, babe |

I lost my girl on Monday
Looking for some sympathy I went to church directly The lord was not there for me Didn't go to work on Tuesday Got to drinking around noon I lost my heart to a mean bartender She knocked me off my stool Now the world's spinning round too fast Lord, won't you let me off on the corner You know a man could take to sinning All he needs is a little push in that direction I lost my job on Friday Said a lack of discipline I went to church directly Peter said "He is not in." I hit the bar on Sunday Looking for some discipline I sold my soul to the mean bartender She said I'm born again Now the world's spinning round too fast Lord, won't you let me off on the corner You know a man could take to sinning All he needs a little pushing If you time it just right You could send me to the lions tonight |

You say your mind is made up, isnt that the way that its supposed to be And its a long way down And its a long, long way down Walking that tall your head is gonna trip your feet Walking with the devils fine, just dont call it looking for sympathy When its four a.m. and mister you cant sleep cause your bloods still rushing at cocaine speed And you know all that you needs a little baby to say Ah mister cool down wont you let me fade those blues away And its a long way down And its a long, long way down And when you hit the ground youre gonna know about it Mister lets you and me see if we cant make a deal Ill give you the world and all youve gotta do is cry for me The reason its a cliche is because its true The harder you climb, the harder you fall, and that means you So mister hard head, hard nose, hard as steel Youre just a punch drunk sycophant, a little s.o.b.
