Poor House Of Love (wil E's Blues)

Well, i gave up on love, and locked myself in

I put up these walls so i'd never fall again

But you broke inside, stole my heart

Leaving me this poorhouse of love

I thought i struck gold, i bought what you said

You stripmined my trust, left my eyes in the red

Baby done tapped me dry, used me up

Left me in the poor house of love

On a lonely avenue (in the poor house of love)

In a room without a view

I'm alone in the dark

And it's falling apart ('cause you ran and you ran and)

You ransacked my heart, ran out on me

There's a hole in my soul, where you used to be

Baby done ran me down, left me flat,

Put me in the poor house of love

I was played for a fool, now i play the blues

We got stoned, y'picked my bones and left without a clue

Talkin' bout curtains down, fire gone

Darkness in the poor house of love

Ona lonely avenue (inthe poor house of love)

In a room with out a view

Now there's nowhere to hide

And i'm dyin' inside (how i tried and i tried to)

Hang on to my pride, and pay all my dues

But i got a foolish heart, stayin' broke, still in love with you

Baby done sucked me in, spit me out

Strapped me with this poor house of love

Down in the the poor house of love (in the poor house of love)

That's where you left me, baby

Curtains down, fire gone, dark here in the poor house of love

You played me for a fool like a fool without a clue

There's a hole - in my soul - girl, it's just so stonedcold

You pulled me in - you pushed me out you sucked me in - you spit me out

You left me a mess condemned at this address

It's so depressed - sending out an s.o.s
