Whipping Boy Lyrics & Chords By Joey Cape

Now it's simple to me, sometimes you have to let go When there's next to nothing you say yes every time she says no There's more pain than love, it comes to shove almost Every time you speak somehow you fight, something's just crazy Somehow it's taking all the life left in you She's had time to heal And she doesn't need you any longer and you've had time to drink And you call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger At three in the morning she says stop calling "'Cause everyone's asleep. Some of us work. You're driving me crazy. I've learned to get on with my life." Now every night's Friday night, picking fights with your friends Somehow trying to make amends So you search for comfort in a friend, It's not the same, she won't understand You both learned to think alike, What was so wrong? Where's she tonight? Out there drinking, while you're left in thinking It's taken all the life left in you You're losing ground, carrying that torch You're not asking for much, still somehow You'll wait for her, you say she'll return, But you still carry that torch, that girl whipping boy
