Damn Yankees

[Verse 1]
Connecting all the dots now
These silly games you play
Fall far below me
The feeling sits and it rots now
That the only thing keeping me around
Is that I let you get to know me

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna say I'm sorry but I won’t 'cause you expect me to
I wanna say I'm sorry but I’m trying not to lie to you

[Chorus]
I wanted your love and I wanted it bad
Gave you myself, now why did I do that?
Accepted your help, now why did I do that?
Shut out everyone else, now why did I do that?
Made me feel scared to go out on my own
When I called I always hoped you wouldn't pick up the phone
You're the meanеst motherfucker that I've еver known
You're the meanest motherfucker that I've ever known

[Verse 2]
You make yourself so hard to love, child (Lovechild, lovechild)
And you make such a stink when you get angry (Like a hawk)
Like a hawk, you stay watching from above, child (You stay watchin')
Keeping score on me like you did that day
When you took me to the Yankees

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna say I'm sorry but I’m trying not to lie to you
I wanna say I’m sorry but I won't ’cause you expect me to

[Chorus]
I wanted your love and I wanted it bad
Gave you myself, now why did I do that?
Accepted your help, now why did I do that?
Shut out everyone else, now why did I do that?
Made me feel scared to go out on my own
When I called I always hoped you wouldn't pick up the phone
You're the meanest motherfucker that I've ever known
You’re the meanest motherfucker that I've ever known

[Bridge]
Same old thing
Again and again
But I promise I won't stick around next time the shit hits the fan
Descending (Descending)
Avalanche (Avalanche)
But you can't blame the snow when your voice is why the whole thing began

[Chorus]
I wanted your love and I wanted it bad
Gave you myself, now why did I do that?
Accepted your help, now why did I do that?
Shut out everyone else, now why did I do that?
Made me feel scared to go out on my own
When I called I always hoped you wouldn't pick up the phone
You're the meanest motherfucker that I've ever known
You're the meanest motherfucker that I've ever known
