He says his marriage
Is really a jail
I could rip her to shreds
With my fingernails
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
She doesn’t even know
Who he really is
Would’ve left her long ago
If it wasn’t for the kids
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
She’s a bitch and a hag
And a vampire shrew
She’s never gonna love him
The way I do
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
My life would be perfect
If it wasn’t for her
That spoiled little bitch
With her diamonds and pearls
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time
Waiting just see him
Anytime I can
I’m never gonna stop
Fighting for my man
Someday he’s gonna be all mine
Says he loves me all the time

Seven little words built the blade
Twisting like a steak knife
In my heart
I really like you for a friend
(I always knew this thing would end)
Seven little words that never fade
Echo like a foghorn
In my head
I really like you for a friend
(Now I have parties to attend)
Seven little words my hell made
Tearing like a buzzsaw
At my soul
I really like you for a friend
(It was amusing to pretend)

I lived a big lie
I was afraid of myself
Spent my time thinking
About everybody else
When you live a big lie
The little ones will follow
Till your brain short-circuits
And your insides are hollow
I couldn’t take your love
Too much beauty and truth
I blamed it all on you
And I squandered my youth
When you live a big lie
The little ones will follow
Till your brain short-circuits
And your insides are hollow
I’m rebuilding myself
Feeling better every day
Maybe we can get
A cup of coffee someday
When you live a big lie
The little ones will follow
Till your brain short-circuits
And your insides are hollow

A million bloody teardrops
Drying out my soul
A thousand days without you
Ain’t no bottom of the hole
The only thing I have
Is nothing
The only thing I did
Was injure you
The only thing I feel
Is empty
Cuz you’re the only one
Who loved me true
I only know tomorrow
Will be sadder than today
I know I had it all
And I let it slip away
The only thing I have
Is freedom
The only thing I want
Is me and you
The only thing I do
Is break things
The only thing I know
Is I love you

Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
—Billy Preston
There ain’t a woman who can see
All the love inside of me
Stupid two-bit loser town
Bitches try to bring me down
I need a woman sweet and pure
I’ll find my truth inside of her
I spend my cash and act a clown
Bitches try to bring me down
A million things that I could be
If only she believed in me
I could drink until I drown
Bitches try to bring me down

She burned my possessions
She poisoned my mule
She shredded my flat screen
And threw it in the pool
I had to find out
for myself
I wouldn’t believe
nobody else
She’s runnin all around
With a bunch of new men
My boss and my brother
And five of my friends
I had to find out
for myself
it wrecked my mind
and ruined my health
She emptied my treasury
She cashed in my chips
She bought herself rubies
And had a nice trip
I had to find out
for myself
she really helped me
share the wealth
All of my buddies
Been saying for years
But I was too timid
To face down my fears
I had to find out
for myself
I wouldn’t believe
nobody else
