[Intro]
I saw you standing there
You had gold dust in your pocket
And combed barbed wire through your hair
You thought I didn't notice
The skin on your teeth had a tear

[Verse 1]
To make me notice you started to shout
Then you and all your minions started flapping your tiny arms all about
They said you were the wise man, when did they teach wise men to pout?
I tried to forget you, but you tied bells to your name
They jingle every time I thought of you, without shame
I tried to be unlovable, why couldn't you do the same?

[Chorus]
What's the matter?
Did you love need a home?
Alright then
Love me, just leave me alone

[Verse 2]
Your mother was a wolf bite, your daddy was a cigarette
Your brother was a rose bud, crossbred like a car wreck
Your sister was a stockbroker, but you ain't nothing but a turtleneck
[Chorus]
What's the matter?
Did you love need a home?
Alright then
Love me, just leave me alone

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, woah, woah, woah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
It's not your little boy smile
It's not your little boy name
It's those big boy hands that are the ones to blame
Well, I'm trying to be unlovable, why couldn't you do the same?

[Chorus]
Oh Baby, what's the matter?
Did your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me just leave me alone
What's the matter?
Does your love need a home?
Alright then
Love me, just leave me alone
Love me, just leave me alone
Love me, just leave me alone
