Veruca Salt

Well I guess I stand corrected on the topic of despair
Well I must've been mistaking it for the smell of your fresh air
I must've thought wrong when I said that you're holier than thou
Attitude was just quite rude
And you should come down off of your cloud
But you're too goddamn self righteous for the righteous hand of God
You're the ultimate example of why not to spare the rod
It ain't your fault that you're like this
Thats the thing that I've told myself
A million times with words
That rhymed in songs of you and songs of hell
And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn
And baby I don't understand
Quitе what I did to earn such a cruel cruel lovеr
Oh and I'm an honest man
Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt
Baby it ain't no wonder
When you look into the mirror what is it that you see
Your forked tongue hides in your mouth
But you still look a lot like me
But there is one big distinct difference
And thats another thing inside
Thats a stone inside inside your body
Baby for every time that you lied
And you were probably never faithful you were probably never true
I regret a lot of the things that I said
But I could see right through you
You are just so damn transparent, oh and you are so damn vain
And it drives me up a great big wall that I can't say your name
And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn
And baby I don't understand
Quite what I did to earn such a cruel cruel lover
Oh and I'm an honest man
Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt
Oh baby but it ain't no wonder
Well I am no great example, oh I'm perfect by no means
I drink too much and I laugh too loud 'til I'm burstin' at the seems
But I'm in no way on my high horse, oh now I'm kinda strapped for cash
But I make ends meet when I have to baby and I spend the rest on hash
But at least I am not tainted oh and rotten to the core
At least I did not stab your back at least I'm not a whole
Lotta trouble soaked in beauty, oh and cigarettes and smiles
Oh at least I was the one that was willing to walk the extra mile
And it ain't no wonder this bridge was bound to burn
And baby I don't understand
Quite what I did to earn such a cruel cruel lover
Oh and I'm an honest man
Just playin' the hand I'm dealt 'cause the way that I felt
Oh baby but it ain't no wonder
