Lay There & Hate Me Lyrics & Chords By Ben Harper

(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)

Lay there & hate me
Lay there and burn
One side to the other you toss and turn
Never trust a woman, never trust a woman
Who loves the blues

Mistake number one
I made it three times today
We'd best talk it over
How there's nothing left to say
I feel like an underpaid concubine
Who's overstayed her welcome

You gave me an eight-page letter
Front and back
Written in your favorite colours
Blood and black

You choose your words as careful
As you'd choose your own grave stone
Lay there & hate me
Better than being alone

Had to fight your way in
You got to fight your way out
Ain't no fool like the fool you love
So let me hear you shout

Shake down, break down
Just can't sit still
You cut off your hair and sold it
For your pretty little pill
I've learn some things about myself
I wish I didn't know

You gave me an eight page letter
Front and back
Written in your favorite colours
Blood and black

You choose your words as careful
As you'd choose your own grave stone
You lay there & hate me
Better than being alone

Had to fight your way in
Got to fight your way out
Ain't no fool like the one you love
Now let me hear you, hear you, hear you shout

Lay there & hate me
Cold as a stone
I just hope it's better
Than sitting alone
Never trust a woman who loves the blues

Gave me an eight page letter
Front and back
Written in your favorite colours
Blood and black

You choose your words as careful
As you'd choose your own grave stone
Lay there and hate me
Better than being alone

Got to fight your way in
Now you got to fight your way out
Ain't no fool like the fool you love
So let me hear you, let me hear you shout
Let me hear you, let me hear you shout

Yeah, yeah
You just lay there with an eight page letter
In your favourite colors
Blood and black
