Dirt in My Eyes
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.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We were not meant to be, I told you so
No need to point the finger that would be cold
You cried like a baby: Don't let me go
I said that you could tell everyone it was mutual
Oh, yeah, was never kind to me
We went our separate ways, I was relieved
Until the gossip made its way back into me
You flipped the story, put the truth in reverse
I know the game you're playing, and this revenge is dangerous
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes (dirt in my eyes)
I just keep on acting, acting surprised (don't be surprised)
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes
Tell me your lies, tell me your lies
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Such a chameleon, you're fake and a freak
You like the talented Miss Ripley
You will regret ever twisting my words
May I remind you, I'm the one that kicked you to the curb
You gave me a taste
Now my appetite for rage, every time you tell lies, it's ecstasy
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes (dirt in my eyes)
I just keep on acting, acting surprised (don't be surprised)
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes
Tell me your lies, tell me your lies
Throw your sticks and stones
When you do me wrong
Your anger only makes me stronger
You should've known all along
Throw your sticks and stones
When you do me wrong
Your anger only makes me stronger
You should've known all along
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes (dirt in my eyes)
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes (oh, yeah)
You just keep on kicking dirt in my eyes
Tell me your lies, tell me your lies
