Veruca Salt

Well, I guess I stand corrected on the topic of despair

Well, I must've been mistaking it for the smell of your fresh air

I must've thought wrong when I said that you're holier

Than thou attitude was just quite rude

And you should come down off of your cloud

But you're too goddamn self-righteous for the righteous hand of God

You're the ultimate example of why not to spare the rod

It ain't your fault that you're like this, that's the thing that I've told myself

A million times with words that rhymed in songs of you and songs of hell

And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand

Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lovеr, oh, and I'm an honest man

Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt

Baby it ain't no wonder

When you look into the mirror what is it that you see

Your forked tongue hides in your mouth, but you still look a lot like me

But there is one big distinct difference and that's another thing inside

That's a stone inside, inside your body baby for every time that you lied

And you were probably never faithful you were probably never true

I regret a lot of the things that I said, but I could see right through you

You are just so damn transparent, oh, and you are so damn vein

And it drives me up a great big wall that I can't say your name

And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand

Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lover, oh, and I'm an honest man

Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt

Oh, baby, but it ain't no wonder

Well, I am no great example, oh I'm perfect by no means

I drink too much, and I laugh too loud till I'm burstin' at the seems

But I'm in no way on my high horse, oh now I'm kinda strapped for cash

But I make ends meet when I have to baby and I spend the rest on hash

But at least I am not tainted oh and rotten to the core

At least I did not stab your back at least I'm not a whole

Lotta trouble soaked in beauty, oh and cigarettes and smiles

Oh, at least I was the one that was willing to walk the extra mile

And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn and baby I don't understand

Quite what I did to earn such a cruel, cruel lover, oh, and I'm an honest man

Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt

Oh baby, but it ain't no wonder
