Lyrics
You don't ever wanna have fun anymore
You don't even wanna be with me
You don't ever want out to stay out late and drink
You act like you're 63
You don't ever wanna hang out with friends
You don't wanna take a drag from one cigarette and
You say you like how you have life in your hands
And it isn't gonna take you
Chorus:
but
baby i'm bored
baby i'm lonely
baby i'm tired but still ornery
baby i'm bored, itching, and wired
I wanna tell you before I go too far
Go too far without you
Ahhhh ah
Are you too good to argue with me
or too numb to care?
I work just as hard as you do
I?m going to the same nowhere
Baby you can?t love a TV
You can?t fuck a DVD
And if it comes down to divorce
You know I?m taking all the CDs
Repeat chorus:
Bridge:
They say keep it simple, simple and true
I made it easy--do not or do
And I don?t want to leave you, but you won?t come along
If life is too weak to take you, then how can I be that strong?
Life ain?t no sunflower seed
No treasure in a shell you crack with your teeth, but
I bite your lip and you bleed
And you?re still whole
Yeah I promise I won?t make you dance
I won?t make you hold my hand
Just meet me for walk after midnight
So I don?t feel like Patsy Cline
Repeat chorus:
Hmmmmm?.mmmmmm??.
