lyrics

That’s Why I’m Leaving You (Wake)
You led me on, I treated you like a queen
so sweet and innocent, so pure and clean
and all the while people laughing at me
you called me honey
spent all my money
you think that’s funny –
that’s why I’m leaving you

I thought you loved me, not what I had
I don’t know how you fooled me so bad
I would have loved you if you’d only asked but
you called me honey
spent all my money,
you think that’s funny –
that’s why I’m leaving you

You got the car and I got the bills
when I had a headache, you took the pills
when I remember it gives me a chill
you called me honey
spent all my money
you think that’s funny –
that’s why I’m leaving you

It is music that swings, drives, bumps and grinds, moans and groans, screams and shouts, and then steps back and turns introspective, plaintive, or nostalgic. ... more
