The White Lady Loves You More

keep your things in a place meant to hide

but i know they're there somewhere

and i know that's where you'll go tonight

i'll be thrown over just like before

the white lady loves you more

need a metal man just to pick up your feet

it's a long time since you cared enough for me to even be discrete

i know what this metal is for

the white lady loves you more

i'm looking at a hand full of broken plans

and i'm tired of playing it down

you just want her to do anything for you

there ain't nothing that you won't allow

you wake up in the middle of the night

from a dream you won't remember flashing on like a cop's light

you say she's waiting and i know what for

the white lady loves you more

the white lady
