From the recording Southern Comfort
Lyrics
(Michelle Malone)
All over town you’re putting me down
Telling friends that I’m a deceiver
While you were the one cheating and gas lighting me
I felt so dumb, I wanted to run
My feet wouldn't move, but my mouth was a gun
I tried to hurt you the way that you hurt me
Your barbed wire kisses, yeah, they got to me
Barbed wire kisses and I can't break free
Barbed wire kisses like a rusty chain
Around my heart
You said it was love, and you’d never leave
Then you treated me like I was a stranger
Could everything that you said to me be a lie?
You spit in my face, I felt my heart break
That knife in my back could’ve been a mistake
I feel like a toy, and I keep coming back for more
[Chorus]
I try and I try, but you just don't love me
I try and I try, but you just don't love me
[Chorus]
Your barbed wire kisses, yeah, they made me cry
You laughed in my face when I said goodbye
Barbed wire kisses like a 10 ton nail right through my heart
I try and I try, but you just don't love me
I try and I try, but you just don't love me
