lyrics
You wanna tell me
Mom don't scare those crows away, they're my only friends
Mom don't scare those crows away, they're my only friends
You ain't the type of woman, daddy said, to make somethin good end
Girl don't come over here, my place is a mess
You'd want to clean it and me up and I could not care less
Girl don't come askin for my heart
I don't have one and I'm not that smart
Dear landlord, can you make these chains a little looser
Even though they look good around my neck
Landlord, can you make me feel less like a loser
Give me an advance on my paycheck
So doctor, what's this pain in my guts
So doctor, what's this ringing in my ears
So doctor, what's an insurance card
But doc, I promise the check will clear
Mom don't scare those crows away, they're my only friends
Mom don't scare those crows away, they're my only friends
You ain't the type of woman, daddy said, to make somethin good end
Girl don't come over here, my place is a mess
You'd want to clean it and me up and I could not care less
Girl don't come askin for my heart
I don't have one and I'm not that smart
Dear landlord, can you make these chains a little looser
Even though they look good around my neck
Landlord, can you make me feel less like a loser
Give me an advance on my paycheck
So doctor, what's this pain in my guts
So doctor, what's this ringing in my ears
So doctor, what's an insurance card
But doc, I promise the check will clear
