Lyrics

Sympathy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well you walked out the door just like a thief in the night

I guess you never even had the balls to say goodbye

You stole my heart and you took all the cash

You split with my soul and my stereo, left me with the trash

I never been nobody's Valentine and you never were a bride to be

I don't need you to be a friend of mine, I don't need no charity

Chorus:

Don't' come knockin' on my back door

Love ain't livin' 'round here no more

I don't want to taste your empathy

I don't want no sympathy

I don't need your sympathy, baby

Don't want no sympathy

I don't need your sympathy, baby

I bet your out on the streets, wrapped up in somebody's arms

Until it's time to pay the rent - you'll be gone, gone, gone

You got a suicide heart, you send it COD

Honey, I know your act, when you're sending it back don't come bitchin' to me

Who said love is just a sacrifice was a man in need of sympathy

It sure don't take too long to realize that you ain't getting none from me

Chorus:

Don't come knockin' on my back door

Love ain't living 'round here no more

I don't want to taste your empathy

I don't want your sympathy

I don't need your sympathy, baby

Don't want no sympathy

I don't need your sympathy, baby

When I look back in time I see love ain't been no friend to me

I never been nobody's Valentine and you never were a bride to be

Chorus:

Don't come knockin' on my back door

Love ain't livin' 'round here no more

Count up all the tears you've cried for me

Don't come knockin' on my back door

Love ain't livin' round here no more

I don't wanna taste your charity

I don't want no sympathy

I don't need no sympathy, baby

Don't want no sympathy

I don't need your sympathy, baby

I want no sympathy

I don't need no sympathy

I don't like no sympathy

I won't hear your sympathy, sympathy, sympathy, sympathy, not for me…
