Jewel - Love Me Just Leave Me Alone

Album:

FROM THIS WAY

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
And you and all your minyons started
Flappiing your tiny arms all about
They said you were a wiseman,
Well when did they teach wisemen to pout?

I tried to forget you
But you tied bells to your name
They'd jingle everytime i thought of you
Without a shame
I've tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?

Whats 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 rose bud
Cross bread with a car wreck
Your sister was a stalk broker
But you ain't nothing but a turtle neck!

Whats the matter?
Does your love need a home?
Alright then,
Love me just leave me alone!

(instrumental break)

Its not your little boy smile,
It's not your little boy name.
Its those little biy hands
That are the ones to blame.
I tried to be unlovable,
Why couldn't you do the same,oh baby!
Whats the matter?
Does your love need a home?
Alright then,
Love me,just leave me alone!
Love me,just leave me alone!
Love me,just leave me alone!
Leave me alone baby!
