From the recording Mama Came to Sing
Lyrics
MY BEST ADDICTION
You’re back and forth and up and down
I never know what you’ll say
My tongue is tight, my head is wound
I think you like it that way
I know you’re young and sorta dumb
That doesn’t mean you can’t think
I’m getting torn, coming undone
I’m on the edge, I’m on the brink
You never say what you mean, you never mean what you say
So listen up, I’m on the move
I’m taking back my shit
A stronger man, a cleaner groove
I’m getting all of it
You’re not a boy and you’re not my toy
Don’t you know that you’re my one addiction
Come on be a man, let me help you stand
Up to this wicked crucifixion
Some day you’ll wish you had a part, a little piece of me
Got nothing but this broken heart so I’m setting you free
So don’t come knocking at my door cause I won’t be around
I ain’t your girl, I ain’t your whore
My body’s sacred ground
You never say what you mean, you never mean what you say
You’re not a boy and you’re not my toy
Don’t you know that you’re my one addiction
Come on be a man, let me help you stand
Up to this wicked crucifixion
All I want is to touch your face and feel your skin
Let you see this fragile state that I am in
Open up and let you spill into my world
But you know I ain’t that kinda girl
You’re not a boy and you’re not my toy
Don’t you know that you’re my one addiction
Come on be a man, let me help you stand
Up to this wicked contradiction
You’re not a boy and you’re not my toy
This ain’t no curse or benediction
Come on be a man, let me help you stand
Up to this bloody crucifixion
