lyrics

I can't be loved
by B.R Frazer ©2017

It's with sympathy I tell you
Everything must change
Packed my guitar and tone
Took the Macy Gray

Had suspicion for the longest time
Things were not quite right
Guess this is where I pay

In the back room
Your bodies tightly pressed
In the shadows
Drinking his caress

I can't be loved
Oooh
I can't be loved
(I Wish that I knew why)
I can't be loved
(Ahhh ahhhh)
I can't be loved
No no no

In my stark and swollen mind
I had to follow you
Imagination moved
to a darker side

If people have the power
To manifest their will
I not only took the pill
I drank the kool-aid

In a dark room
Your bodies tightly pressed
I watch your shadow
swallow his caress

I can't be loved
Oooh
I can't be loved
(I Wish that I knew why)
I can't be loved
(Ahhh ahhhh)
I can't be loved
No no no
