Girl, pay me no attention

lyrics

Girl, pay me no attention
'Cause my soul's suffering misdirection
And all my failings need no mention
Girl, my heart needs redemption.

O I've been writing love stories all day
And if you want romance, if you want glory, don't stay
I'm always writing about the men who live with scars
And all the ladies who left 'em to go be stars.

O I swear I'm gonna make a movie one day
About the kind of love story that just burns out, then fades
The kind where a woman can't live with the man she loves
'Cause the man himself, he's too drunk to even know what he does
to her.

You can call me jaded, even bitter -- it's all right.
A man just gets a little tired of waiting at night
You coming home, apologizing, crawling back into bed
Well the clockface been watching, and he's not so easily
Misled.

I suppose my stories are just fictions that I write
and in my head, my jealous head, false depictions of my life
Talk to me when I'm not so far out of my mind
My heart will start beating again it's just a matter
of time.

Girl, pay me no attention
'Cause my soul's suffering misdirection
And all my failings need no mention
Girl, my heart needs redemption.

I'll just take it easy, my lover hold on tight
I know it's not what we thought but baby, maybe it's right
I am a first-rate, half-baked, genuine waste of time
But ask again tomorrow and I'll probably just say that I'm fine.
Do you mind?

I will take you through the undo-we-will-just-have-to
Make-do-with-our-time
Stick with me woman, I'm a slow learner, but maybe I could turn out alright
Maybe I'll be up, be down in a minute, in the blink of an eye
But a feeling is a feeling and a decision is a decision and
Love makes you cry.

Girl, pay me no attention
'Cause my soul's suffering misdirection
And all my failings need no mention
Girl, my heart needs redemption.
