It's Only Going To Get Worse 03:54
lyrics
buy track
You're right to think I'm pretty queer I got drunk and then I got weird Pushed you away, tugged on your sleeve Begged you to stay and then told you to leave And it's only going to get worse I will be your curse It's only going to get worse These things don't move in reverse You're right to think I'm turning sour I'm more of a tart with every hour The fruit you picked is ripe no more A bite reveals a rotten core And it's only going to get worse I will be your curse It's only going to get worse These things don't move in reverse I don't care if you run away Over land or sea As long as you run away From me You're right to think that I'm a cad I once was tender but I've gone bad Too long alone with my bitter thoughts Some hearts heal but mine, it rots And it's only going to get worse I will be your curse It's only going to get worse These things don't move in reverse

Sex Is Always Better With Somebody New (Acoustic) 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Sex is always better with somebody new Someone who's never demolished you But there's something to be said for a broken-in bed And I don't want it all to myself tonight I don't want it all to myself tonight Sex is always better with someone you hardly know Someone who works at some place you never go Yeah, there's something to be said for a welcoming bed And I don't want it all to myself tonight I don't want it all to myself tonight And I don't want to lie Not anymore Deep down inside I know I'm a whore And I don't want to hear About commitment and trust My heart and my love Are ashes and dust And if I can't learn to trust I still know how to lust Sex is always better when they don't belong to you With your best friend's ex, every kiss is taboo But there's something to be said for a well-worn bed And I don't want it all to myself tonight I don't want it all to myself tonight...

I Don't Wanna Hurt Nobody 02:36
lyrics
buy track
I'd love to love you But I'm not very healthy Like a cough that gets worse No doctor or nurse Could help you breath easy While you're with me I'd love to love you But I won't make you happy Like a sink that's been stained When the water's been drained I leave a mark On the hearts that I love I don't want to hurt no one It just seems to happen Again and again And again and again And again and again and again and again and again I'd love to love you But I can't let that happen After three months I'll be back on the hunt It's the chase not the kill That gives me the thrill I'd love to love you But you're better off with Michael He's pretentious but sweet And I'm so incomplete Though I thought I might die When my hand brushed your thigh I don't want to hurt no one It just seems to happen Again and again And again and again And again and again and again and again and again

Friends Who Cuddle 02:03
lyrics
buy track
I thought you should know I'm a cup full of woe I'm a scar, I'm a wound A broken guitar, out of tune I'm poison, I'm a trap I'm not the carefree chap I let people think I am It's a ruse, it's a sham But tonight let's share a bed I need a bosom to rest my head I'm tired, I am sick I'm a lantern burnt out of wick And to look you'd never tell Like an egg under its shell I've secretly gone rotten Probably best forgotten Definitely best forgotten But tonight let's share a bed I need a bosom to rest my head And to avoid future muddles Let's just be friends who cuddle Or why label us at all? Then I won't have to make the call When it's no longer fun And tell you that we're done Because I'm just too weak to do The right thing and tell you that we're through I am just too weak to do The right thing and tell you that we're through

The Ballad of William 00:52
lyrics
buy track
I only know his first name It's Bill, and what's worse I have no idea what he looks like I found his number in her purse If I were a dictator I'd have my secret police Round up all the Williams And crucify them along the streets

Leaves a Scar 03:12
lyrics
buy track
If we could make love Instead of just having sex Then I would only be able to think Of his hands on your breasts This is why my kisses feel Like I could tear you apart Like I'm trying to tear you apart I sent you away in the morning When the light was still dim Because when you touched me I could feel you touching him This is why I look at you Like I could tear you apart Like my eyes could tear you apart I would never be one to deny The bond between you and I But kisses don't make it all okay And sorry doesn't burn the past away I know I shouldn't have hid Like some genie in his lamp Turned away, in the night My cheeks moist, my pillow damp I didn't want to admit I felt Like I could tear you apart Like I wanted to tear you apart And even if I tried to tell you how I hurt Words couldn't wash away the dirt Sorry only goes so far And picking at it only leaves a scar Sorry only goes so far And picking at it only leaves a scar

Lost Valentine 03:15
lyrics
buy track
My lost Valentine Where are you tonight? Where have you gone away? Hey, where have you gone away? Does your love for me still linger? Do you wear his ring upon your finger? Or do you cry yourself to sleep With no one to hear you weep? Oh, lost Valentine Just call and tell me you're all right Why did I send you away? Hey, how could I send you away? Tonight are you sweating in his arms? Are you alone on a bus back to your mama's farm? Does he treat like he should? Valentine, are you gone for good? Oh, Valentine, are you gone for good? Valentine, are you gone for good?
