Underneath 
there’s no relief 
from all the pressures 
of her self-made 
strife 
I hear her shuffling her feet 
she has the presence of a Poltergeist 

on no 
don’t go 
starting from the top again 
way high 
way low 
makes me want to scream 
and she doesn’t even know 
she holds out her hands again 
expecting to get things 
all for naught 
all for naught 
she can’t have it that way 
her mood swings 
pretending she has reasons 
to please him 
cold and hot 
cold and hot 
you can’t treat me that way 

never mind about the crime 
it’s not abuse unless you leave a mark 
but in between you make a scene 
you keep ‘em comin’ 
till you break their heart 

oh no don’t go 
starting from the top again 
way high 
way low 
makes me wanna cry 
and she doesn’t even know 
she holds her hands again 
expecting to get things 
all for naught 
all for naught 

she can’t have it that way 
her mood swings 
pretending 
she has reasons 
to please him 
cold and hot 
cold and hot 
you can’t treat me 
that way 
that way… 

starting over 
starting from the top again 
too much on your shoulders 
starting from the top again 
you go on hiding 
while I’m left deciding 
way high 
way low 
you make me want to scream 
and you don’t even know 
she holds out 
her hands again 
expecting to get things 
all for naught 
all for naught 
she can’t have it that way 

her mood swings 
pretending she has reasons 
to please him 
cold and hot 
cold and hot 
you can’t treat me that way 
that way
