All of the things I thought I knew They went out the door when we gave birth to you Stay in the chair and thread the thread Leaving the pistol on the table ‘til the end Baby I baby I baby I Kill myself for you Baby I Baby I Bay I Kill myself for you And no matter how you shake it I don’t have the words to say I thought this melody would suit you Sometimes you’re too exhausting to pursue If I woulda known I’d make it worse Then I would go back and hang the lantern on this verse Didn’t your daddy raise you right? I’m polishing these adverbs while you hang me out to dry Baby I baby I baby I Kill myself for you Baby I Baby I Bay I Kill myself for you And no matter how you shake it I don’t have the words to say Yeah no matter how you shake it I don’t never have the perfect thing to say Baby I baby I baby I Kill myself for you Baby I Baby I Bay I Kill myself for you And no matter how you throw it no I’ll never have it perfect so Baby I baby I baby I Kill myself for you Baby I Baby I Bay I Kill myself for you Yeah no matter how you spin I’ll never have the word No matter how you phrase it’s gonna sound absurd No matter how you shake it I’ll have nothing left to say
