Man's Ruin

I thought you loved my silly obsession
I didn't know you were feeling that way
You could've told me you were dealing deception
I would've stayed here and not gone that way

Your hair is looking much fuller than usual
Did the flea market take care of that?
The lights are low enough the creeps never notice
But I could see you from a mile away

Your love's a lie, but you try in your way

Don't you tell me about soul girl
You know I ain't got none of that
Your love's a lie and I see right through it
My eyes are open baby they ain't closed, no

I was blessed once; the cards I was handed
I didn't know what was coming of it
This little curse I got I think you have found it
It's irresistible but don't you give in

The dealer says boy you look empty handed
Don't bet heavy son or your gonna lose
Might come ahead at this table tonight kid
But that girl you got, she's writing your blues

Your love's a lie, but you try in your way

Don't you tell me about luck man
You can see that I ain't got none of that
Her love's a lie and I see right through it
My luck is changing man don't you know

Now don't you tell me about no soul girl
When you know I ain't got none of that
Your love's a lie and I see right through it
My eyes are open baby no no no no no no

Now don't you tell me about no luck man
Well you see I ain't got none of that
Her love's a lie and I see right through it
But my luck is changing now don't you know

Your love's a lie, but you try in your way
Your love's a lie, but you try in your way
Your love's a lie, but you try in your way
