Lyrics

You can’t pretend that you’re not down
Seeing how he pushed you around
You act like you’re OK
But I can see you’re dazed

There’s fear inside your guise
You can only fake it, for a little while
I know you’re black and blue
There’s really nothing, that I wouldn’t do for you

But your heart is set on just one thing
And only that will do
The call of reason has a distant ring
I cry for you

I can’t believe you’re going back with him
It was the worst thing that you’ve ever done
You know times are getting tough
But it ain’t that rough
And you oughta know better by now

You can’t pretend that you’re not hurt
After all, he treats you like dirt
When everything went bad
And I am left holding the bag

Baggage you brought in
Oh sweet baby, will you never learn?
I hope we get you back
But I’m afraid that I will crack

The prison you have willed exist
Grows stronger day by day
The lightning word, the leaden fist
Will blow you away

I can’t believe you’re going back with him
It was the worst thing that you’ve ever done
You know times are getting tough
But it ain’t that rough
And you oughta know better by now

I can’t believe you’re going back with him
It was the worst thing that you ever let back in
You know times are getting tough
But it ain’t that rough
And you oughta know better by now

Shrugging your shoulders
Whenever they told you
Stay away from him

Now it’s November
You don’t remember
What it means to be independent

I can’t believe you’re going back with him
And you oughta know better by now

The only thing I regret
Is like a raging thirst
It eats into my dreams to know
You got there first

I can’t believe you’re going back with him
It was the worst thing that you’ve ever done
You know times are getting tough
But it ain’t that rough
And you oughta know better by now

can’t believe you’re going back with him
It was the worst thing that you’ve ever let back in
You know times are getting tough
But it ain’t that rough
And you oughta know better by now!
