Love’s Long Sleep

[Verse 1]
Always throw the first punch or he'll knock you off your feet Don't believe that he's so sorry
In a bathrobe made of fleece
He's winding up the wrist watch that always tells the same time Can't you see he's going nowhere and he'll keep you at ringside

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't stay down, get up girl
Why just sleep away the day
Well, don't play dead, get out of bed
I'll carry you away

[Chorus]
His talk like love, his kiss like porno
He is not the man for you
You'd be so much better off without him

[Verse 2]
All his vows of true love sound like laughter out of court
Your long hair flowed like a bridal train until he'll cut it short
After he has finished with what he wants you for
Without strength left you'll surrender, another little war

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't stay down, get up girl
Why just sleep away the day
Well, don't play dead, get out of bed
I'll carry you away

[Chorus]
His talk like love, his kiss like porno
He is not the man for you
You'd be so much better off without him

[Bridge]
If he's the man in all your dreams
It's time to wake from love's long sleep
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Verse 3]
He's got it in his thick head he could recreate your life
If you stick around here long enough
Your kids will have his eyes
I'm knocking at your front door
Throwin' pebbles at your screen
I would do nothin' to hurt you
I wanna see and to be seen

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't stay down, get up girl
Why just sleep away the day
Well, don't play dead, get out of bed
I'll carry you away

[Chorus]
His talk like love, his kiss like porno
He is not the man for you
You'd be so much better off
You'd be so much better off
You'd be so much better off without him
