Give me your love, honey
You know I need drug money
Waitin' for my food stamps to arrive
I’m sittin' on a Greyhound bus
Tryin' to get far away from us
It’s amazin' I made it out of this town alive
And if I am awake tomorrow
Don't gimme no pain
Don't gimme no sorrow
All I wanna do is get a little sleep tonight, that's right
And if you want to you can have it
You can love me like a habit
‘Cause there ain't no rhyme or reason like before
You can leave me in the gutter
You can leave me like a mother
I will break down
I will break down
I will break down
A little more
A little more
I went down to the corner store
And bought all that I could afford
A bottle of whiskey and a Coca-Cola chaser
And I played a record to drive my blues away
It was “A Love Supreme” by John Coltrane
I cried ‘till I couldn't cry no more
And I went out to meet my friend
Who told me that he wanted to spin
He gave me drugs when all I really wanted was love, too much
Because I don't believe in somethin’ that
Changes me into nothin’
‘Cause I felt too much like nothin' before
You can leave me in the gutter
You can leave me like a mother
I will break down
I will break down
I will break down
A little more
A little more
Give me your shoes, honey
I want to be used, honey
I want to live out on the street
And give me some of your make-up
So I can fix my fake face up
And be alive to everyone I meet
And if I live a long, long time
And always form a single line
Please, tell my kids that I was something in my prime
Hard to define
Because I am sick of tryin’
When it feels like I am lyin'
Cause I'm not myself
The way I was before
You can leave me in the gutter
You can leave me like a mother
I will break down
I will break down
I will break down
I will break down
I will break down
I will break down [x3]
A little more
A little more
