Love Me Just Leave Me Alone Lyrics by Jewel

Love Me Just Leave Me Alone Lyrics

    I saw you standing there
    Barbed wire in your pocket (Someone's brain popped as)
    You were combing barbed wire through your hair
    You thought I didn't notice
    The skin on your teeth had a tear
    To make me notice you started to shout
    Then you and all your midgets (Then you and your munchkins)
    Started flapping your tiny arms all about
    They said you were the wise man
    When did they teach wise men to pout?
    I tried to forget you
    But you tied bells to your name
    ???
    ??? spread in your face

    I tried to be unlovable (I'm trying to be unlovable)
    Why couldn't you do the same?

    What's the matter?
    Did your love need a home?
    Alright then
    Love me just leave me alone
    (Love me just leave me alone)

    (You thought all the curiosity...)
    Your mother was a wolf bite
    Your daddy was a cigarette
    Your brother was a rose bud
    Cross breath like a car wreck
    Your sister was a stockbroker
    But you - you ain't nothing but a turtleneck
    You were standing there hypnotized
    In the middle of the street
    You had iron butterflies as kisses
    You had gold dust in your teeth
    You use one eye as a hostage
    The other eye to stab your own meat
    But your mind is a circle
    But it clings to straight lines
    Your arms are like corset strings
    They only know how to find
    Linens are adorable
    Why don't you try it sometime

    What's the matter
    Did your love need a home?
    Alright then
    Love me just leave me alone

    It's not your little boy's mind
    It's not your little boy's mind
    It's those big boy hands when I'm no longer there

    Well, I'm trying to be unlovable
    Why couldn't you do the same?

    What's the matter?
    Did your love need a home?
    Alright then
    Love me just leave me alone

    What's the matter?
    Did your love need a home?
    Alright then
    Love me just leave me alone
    Love me just leave me alone
    Love me just leave me alone
