(VERSE 1) Driving down a different road Going somewhere I know So why do I feel you're different than me? It's already like I've put the high road beneath me Well, you're still sad and I'm very alone If you say it's over, well I'm sober now For that we're not that different, baby But now I've realized that nobody likes me (PRE-CHORUS) I don't need no one in my place, no no no And if you think I do, then you don't know about me And you won't know 'till the morning when you've used up all your chances, so go away I know you'll never fall in love and move on But I should have known you still hate me 'cause I don't take it (CHORUS) So lay off of me baby I don't wanna listen right now (and I know 'cause I see what's going down) Why don't you think about how I feel? Stay off of me baby I don't wanna listen to you cry now (and I know) Why are you always leaving me out? So say what's going down right now (VERSE 2) "We don't have to be together" You're the one that believed I'd be with you one day It's not that I care that the bottle made me lose somebody Well, now I know you did it When we talk, I hear I'm driving down back on the road and I'm going somewhere, well I wouldn't know (BRIDGE) I like my backgarden much more than I like my porch You know I'd let you see if you try to walk with me at night In my backyard with my lamp torch and me You know that every time when you're with me I become afraid to hurt For your love's like pain to me, now end this And you better listen to yourself (PRE-CHORUS) Well, nobody knows my pain, no no no It's why I never tried to hurt you Please shut the door before you leave And now I think you're gonna step on my heart again "I just wanna know" Are you messing with me? I miss that summer evening When you kissed me (CHORUS) Lay off of me baby I don't wanna listen to you cry now (and I know) Instead of leaving me out I want you to listen right now Stay off of me baby I don't wanna listen to you cry now (and I know) Why are you always leaving me out? Well, I want you to listen right now Right now (Mumbling)
