Smokey Robinson
My Bed Of Thorns
[Verse 1]
Make your bed hard
And you'll have to lay down in it
A love that takes years to find
Can be lost in just one minute

[Pre-Chorus]
Since I hurt you and you've gone
I regret the day I was born

[Chorus]
And now I lay me down to cry
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns

[Verse 2]
I took you for granted
Thought I had you under my thorn
Mistook kindness for weakness
How could I have been so dumb

[Pre-Chorus]
To think that you would stay
Though I filled your life with scorn

[Chorus]
Now I lay me down to cry
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns
[Bridge]
I lied to you so much
I had a million defences
But now that you've gone
And I've come to my senses
I know that in love you tell the truth
Or pay the consequences

[Verse 3]
I've misused love
And now I'm all alone
It's my fault we broke up
Now I'm reaping what I sow

[Pre-Chorus]
My eyes are filled with tears
My heart and soul are torn

[Chorus]
And now I lay me down to cry
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns

[Outro]
On my bed of thorns
On my bed of thorns
