I Saved All My Love For You

I paid fifteen dollars for a prostitute,

With too much makeup and a broken shoe,

But i'll be savin' all my love for you.

I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain,

I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.

And I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.

I'd come home but i'm afraid that you won't take me back.

So I smoke my friends down to the filter,

And I got a bad liver and a broken heart,

Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart.

I don't have a drinking problem, 'cept when I can't get a drink,

But it don't douse the flames that are started by dames.

Now i lay me down to sleep,

And all it took was a sweet little bullet
From a pretty blue gun

To put those scarlet ribbons in my hair,

'Cause I'm just a thorn without my rose.
