lyrics

Talk and talk and talk about it all to me tonight
Tell me that Iʼm sheltered and I donʼt know about life
Educate your lady on the way that things are done
Tell me why you love me but Iʼm not the only one

Itʼs too late for fighting; I just want to go on home, I miss my bed, Iʼve got to rest, Iʼve need to wrestle with the poison in my head

Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the fool
Stop making me the selfish child who takes and takes
And then send me back to my room
Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the fool
Stop saying that I tie you down and lock you up
And then send me back to your room

Donʼt ask me to give more when I am drained of all I have
I donʼt think I need fixing; just a little steady hand
You grabbed my hand and pulled me in the circus of our life
But it just wasnʼt enough for me to love you like a wife

You think the way to solve this is to make me call the shots; I didnʼt ask to be that girl; donʼt want to be the one that writes up all our rules

Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the fool
Stop trying to fix me up just like your friends
And then send us both to the moon
Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the fool
Stop saying that Iʼm blind and wrong, canʼt think for myself
And then send us both to the moon

I donʼt ask for promises now that I know the truth
I canʼt count on anything youʼll swear that you will do
Youʼve forced me to nag and bitch and moan and be uptight
If youʼre so wise and helpful, why am I always so right?

Itʼs too late for sorry; I just wanna leave the rest of this behind. Wish I could knock myself to sleep; say I wonʼt take you back this time

Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the fool
Stop making me the dried up shell youʼll leave behind
And then send us both to the moon
Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the fool
Stop making me the messed up girl, canʼt think for herself
And then send us both to the moon

Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the bad guy
Stop making me the fool
