Why Don’t You Love Me

I was reading blood meridian
on the hood of my car
fantasizing wild ponies
and electric guitars

I was contemplating storm clouds
on the edge of the sky
it's best you don't ask questions if you can't handle why

why don't you love me honey
why can't it be love
what's it got to be
anything
why ain't I enough
why don't you love me honey
what can I prove
I'd jus as soon you hate me
than to try and make do
I'd jus as soon you hate me
than to try and make do

I paid my tab drank my beer
and I walked outa the bar
I used to know a couple werewolves
but I don't know where they are
anymore

I guess they threw away their jeans
I guess they cut off their hair
but the stick and pokes still show
when the moon's in the air

why don't you love me honey
why can't it be love
what's it got to be
anything
why ain't I enough
why don't you love me honey
what can I prove
I'd jus as soon you hate me
than to try and make do
I'd jus as soon you hate me
than to try and make do

I tossed a coin at my reflection
on the edge of a lake
then I road off in the sunset
on the back of a snake

some say the devil is a woman
some say the devil is a man
I think the devil is a painting
you jus don't understand

all the ponies were unbridled
and they danced in the field
I knew that I should stop
but I jus couldn't yield

now I kiss the 'lectric pole
my car is folded around
if you don't like the noise, boy
don't go chasing the sound

why don't you love me honey
why can't it be love
what's it got to be
anything
why ain't I enough
why don't you love me honey
what can I prove
I'd jus as soon you hate me
than to try and make do
I'd jus as soon you hate me
than to try and make do

heave yourself a sigh babe
you can be relieved
you ain't gotta lie no more
and I ain't gotta make believe

why don't you love me honey
why can't it be love
what's it got to be
anything
why ain't I enough
why don't you love me honey
what can I prove
I'd jus as soon you hate me
than to try and make do
I'd jus as soon you hate me
than to try and make do
