Put Me Down (song)

First it was breathing
easy as in, and through
Now you got me seething
Yeah, I care so much my face is blue

So you know what you're doing
I'm just another routine
In the bed, yeah you own me
But in the streets
I ride free

(chorus)
and you don't wanna try to tie me down
Kid, I only like that in the sheets
You got bullets in my head and the blood is brown
Put me down . . .
You can dream . . .
Of holding me

Yeah, I know that you need it
I left you hungry for another taste
but to sit and watch you deceive me -
Boy, that ain't the way I operate

(chorus)
and baby you don't wanna try to tie me down
Kid, I only like that in the sheets
You got bullets in my head and the blood is brown
Put me down . . .
You can dream . . .

Not another heartbeat, not another word                          
you're playing with fire and you're gonna get burned                                        }x 2
Hang me on the clothesline, throw me on the floor            
always got me back for more                                            

Not another heartbeat, not another word
you're playing with fire and you're gonna get burned
Look at what I gave you, lay it on the line
Can't I fucking change my mind? ------> (into chorus)

(chorus) ...don't tie me down
Kid, I only like that in the sheets
You got bullets in my head and the blood is brown
Put me down. . .
You can dream. . .
Of holding me.
