lyrics

VERSE
I'm a mess, I'm a fool, I'm a goddamn fool for you baby
I'm a wreck, I'm arrested, I'm wrong in the head
I drown in my dreams, you spread like a weed searching for water
And when you shine like the sun I know that I'm done, you're pulling me under

CHORUS
Give up, gone, goodbye girl, time to say hello to misery
You know just where she'll lead you, y'all ain't no strangers
Give up, gone, goodbye girl, it’s time to say hello to misery, hello misery,

VERSE
It’s a shame and a sin what you do, what you do to me darlin'
You're a rogue and a wretch how you pull and stretch me thin
I'm a frog in a pot, you're turning it up, the flames getting higher
Your tempting and teasing and begging have sent me from flame to the fire

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Forced to pull out all the stops to forget you
Friends and neighbors shake their heads. And I'll bet you
Twenty silver dollars that I pulled out of a wishing well
That you're the same old path to the same old place I know so well

CHORUS X2
