In her Letter to You, Emily Haines wrote
Lyrically this one is so close to my heart, it’s hard for me to say anything more than what I’ve alrea...
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Tell me in the morning that you love me, show me
Only if you got it bad enough, oh, oh, oh
She cracked right on the dance floor
She cracked, but I won't
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Tell me in the morning that you miss me, show me
Only if you got it bad enough, oh, oh, oh
It's for your own good, girl
You've been such a good girl, such a good girl
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Stay to soften the blow
Hand over fist
To drink and to smoke
My blood from a stone
I do expect fortunes to fold
Hand over fist
To soften the blow
Blood from a stone
[Verse 3]
Seven in the morning, do you miss me, baby?
Only if you got it bad enough, oh, oh, oh
It's four on the West Coast, girl
[Verse 4]
They tell me it's a magical world
Oh, oh, oh
It's a sinister world
Oh, oh, oh
It's too late to leave, too late to leave
Oh, oh, oh
It's too late to leave, too late to leave
Oh, oh, oh
It's too late to leave, too late to leave
[Chorus]
Stay to soften the blow
Hand over fist
To drink and to smoke
My blood from a stone
I do expect fortunes to fold
Hand over fist
To soften the blow
Blood from a stone
