How many more years
Have I got
To let you
Dog me around
How many more years
Have I got
To let you
Dog me around
I'd soon rather
Be dead
Sleeping six feet
In the ground
I'm gonna fall
On my knees
I'm gonna raise up
My right hand
I'm gonna fall
On my knees
I'm gonna raise up
My right hand
Say I'd feel
Much better
Darling
If you'd just
Only understand
I'm going upstairs
I'm gonna bring back
Down my clothes
I'm going upstairs
I'm gonna bring back
Down my clothes
Do them all
If anybody
Ask about me
Just tell'em
I walked out on
