Lyrics

I did n’t hear what you were say ing, I live on raw e mo tion, ba by.

I an swer ques tions nev er, may be.

And I’m not kind if you be tray me, so who the hell are you to say we nev er would have made it, babe.

If you need ed love, well, then ask for love, could have giv en love, now I’m tak ing love.

And it’s not my fault ’cause you both de serve what is com ing now, so don’t say a word.

(Em)Wake up call, caught you in the morn ing with an oth er one in my bed.

Don’t you (B7)care a bout me an y more, don’t you care a bout me?

I don’t think so.

(Em)Six foot tall, came with out a warn ing so I had to shoot him dead.

He won’t (B7)come a round here an y more, come a round here, I don’t think so.

I would have bled to make you hap py, you did n’t need to treat me that way, and now you beat me at my own game.

And now I find you sleep ing sound ly and your lov er’s scream ing loud ly, and hear a sound and hit the ground.

If you need (B7)come a round here, I don’t feel so (Em)bad, I don’t feel so bad, I don’t feel so (B)bad.

I’m so sor ry, dar ling, did I do the wrong thing?

Oh, what was I think ing, is his heart still beat ing?

Oh, (Em)wake up call, caught you in the morn ing with an oth er one in my bed.

Don’t you (B7)care a bout me an y more, don’t you care a bout me?

I don’t think so.

(Em)Six foot tall, came with out a warn ing so I had to shoot him dead.

He won’t (B7)come a round here an y more, come a round here, I don’t think so.
