Lyrics
But You Are
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.
I say that you're no good, and someone should slap you.
You take more than you give the damage attracts you.
You don't protest all that hard.
You say you're not a jerk...
But You Are,
yeah, you are.
But You Are,
oh, you are.
It's black, you say that it's white and that I'm mistaken.
Condemn all that I do, and I am still shakin'.
Always you go much too far.
You say you're not a jerk...
But You Are,
yeah, you are.
But You Are,
oh, you are.
(Solo)
I should not have let down my guard,
You say you're not a jerk...
But You Are,
yeah, you are.
But You Are,
oh, you are.
You try hard to manipulate
but I forgot to take the bait.
You're selfish and you hog the bed,
you never even give head.
You talk about the girls you had,
you think you're cool, you think you're bad.
You tell me that you write the rules,
but I just think that you're a fool....
And I just thought I'd tell you....
And I just thought I'd tell you....
