Can't Stand Me Now
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.
An ending fitting for the start
You twisted and tore our love apart
Your light fingers through the dark
Shattered the lamp into darkness, they cast us all
No, you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy, kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot fucking harder now
If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh
I know you lie
I know you lie
But I'm still in love with you
Uh oh oh
You can't take me anywhere, I take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
Have we enough to keep it together
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending, no
Try to pull the world, I wasn't feeling too clever
You take all that they're lending
Until you needed mending...
If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh
I know you lie
All you do is make me cry
All those words that ain't true
You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
