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
