why was i so ready to lay myself bare for you
every thought to share with you
correlate and care for you
(i ask again)
why was i so ready to lay myself bare for you
every thought to share with you
correlate and care for you
why was i so ready to lay down with you
dive right in and drown with you
kingdom and a crown for you
(i ask again)
why was i so ready to lay down with you
dive right in and drown with you
kingdom and a crown for you
your protective mother
told me not to bother
your prospective lover
warned me not to go there
why'd i need to lay it on the line for you
explain every sign to you
will you be mine, i said to you
will you be mine, i said to you
will you be mine, i said to you
will you by mine
why'd i need to lay it on so thick with you
want it all so quick with you
think that it would stick
your protective mother
told me not to bother
your prospective lover
warned me not to go there
even with an arrow through my chest
i still could not lay down to rest
even with an arrow through my chest
i still could not lay down to rest
no no ---
oh no ---
your prospective mother
she told me not to bother you
