Is there a reason in the things we say And shout at one another? We're three sheets to the wind And every word just pulls us under All the dirt we've piled upon Our layers of decay Just love me darlin', I think I can stay Love me like you used to do way back when 'Fore the rug was pulled beneath your feet And you fell back in the saddle Left time standing still And put all your troubles right on me To say we've got your problems Is an understated truth But in your times of clarity I found the light in you So when your skin's crawlin' And that light begins to fade Just love me darlin', I think I can stay Love me like you used to do way back when If I could take your pain away You'd never have to try Maybe then, just maybe We could lead a normal life Freedom has new meaning Tied to your ball and chain Just love me darlin', I think I can stay Love me like you used to do way back when 'Fore the rug was pulled beneath your feet And you fell back in the saddle Left time standing still And put all your troubles right on me Just love me darlin', I think I can stay Just love me darlin', I think I can stay Just love me
