You can’t stand the hell I raise
don’t understand my wicked ways
and I don’t even think you like my many evil turns of phrase
and on any given day
neither one of us could say
just what the hell you see in me
or why the hell
you stay
CHORUS
Maybe I’m not what you expected
too cynical and disaffected
somehow I seem to have won your heart
and I’d die to protect it
I walked my own path all along
drinkin drinks and singing songs
I know your mama she warned you
but i think she got me wrong
Must be more than lack of pluck
that keeps you from loading up your truck
and heading down the road to see
if you can’t change your luck
it’s not that I ain’t man enough
it’s not that I treat you rough
it’s just that no one else has ever called
your bluff
CHORUS
A recipe for disaster
you’re a bitch and I’m a bastard
we fought like cats and dogs til I fell hard
but you fell faster
You’re too damn smart and full of sass
and I can never let things pass
folks with half a lick of sense they say
we’ll never last
CHORUS
doubts nagged at me demons taunted
ghosts come calling I been haunted
cuz I figured out you’re everything
I never knew I wanted
CHORUS

Easy to fall in love with while rolling down the road and just feeling good about things even when they're going wrong. - Cindy (guitar, vox for Feral) Feral
Gorgeous, heartbreaking, joyful - never has an album made me drive around smiling stupid wide, singing at the top of my lungs, with tears streaming down my face. Cindy, guitar/vox Feral
