The White Stripes - A Martyr For My Love For You Lyrics


She Was Sixteen And Six Feet Tall
in A Crowd Of Teenagers Comin` Out Of The Zoo
she Stumbled Started To Slip And Fall
teeter-tottered On The Top Of Patent Leather Shoes
i Happened To Catch Her And Said,
`maybe These Ruby Shoes Are A Little Cumbersome For You`

maybe For You, Now

but Not As Shaky As I Must Have Seemed
talkin` Junk Through Her Giggle, Little Teenage Dream
and On The Phone I Could Not Compete
my Dumb-love Fake Competence Was Getting Weak
for A Sec` I Thought I Sounded Sweet
but Sure `nough In A Gruff, Faint Voice
i Heard Myself Speak

[chorus:]
i Could Stay A While
but Sooner Or Later I`ll Break Your Smile
and I Can Tell A Joke
but One Of These Days I`m Bound To Choke
and We Could Share A Kiss
but I Feel Like I Can`t Go Through With This
and I Bet We Could Build A Home
but I Know The Right Thing For Me To Do
is To Leave You Alone

leave You Alone, Now

i`m Beginning To Like You
so You Probably Won`t Get What I`m Going To Do
i`m Walkin` Away From You
it Probably Don`t Make Much Sense To You
but I`m Trying To Save You
from All Of The Things That I`ll Probably Say Or Do

i`ll Probably Do

[chorus:]
i Could Stay A While
but Sooner Or Later I`ll Break Your Smile
and I Can Tell A Joke
but One Of These Days I`m Bound To Choke
and We Might Share A Kiss
but I Feel Like A Can`t Go Through With This
and I Bet We Could Build A Home
but I Know The Right Thing For Me To Do
is To Leave You Alone

leave You Alone, Now

you`ll Probably Call Me A Fool
and Say I`m Doin` Exactly What A Coward Would Do
and I`m Beginning To Like You
what A Shame It`s A Lame Way To Live
but What Can I Do?
i Hope You Appreciate What I Do

i`m A Martyr For My Love For You
a Martyr For My Love For You, Now
a Martyr For My Love For You
a Martyr For My Love For You
