Othello

Dance Hall Crashers
(album: The Old Record (1989-1992))

How can you say that you need me when you never look me in the face
How can you say that you love me when you´ve been messing around all over the place
I went downtown yesterday and I was walking in the marketplace
Everybody laughed at me, they whispered that i was a disgrace

You´ve been out all night drinking again, you never even bother to call
Been crossing blades with god knows who, you´re headed for your rise and fall
Sooner or later I´ll wake up and wipe the sleep out of my eyes
Later that day when you wake up you´ll be in for a big surprise

You talk about yourself all night when really you are such a bore
You give me flowers to my face, behind my back you call me a whore
I´ve had enough of your god knows what, I think it´s time for you to leave
I´ve forgiven you too many times before, this time you get no reprive

The bed´s too big without you but I suppose it´ll have to do
Better to lay in an empty bed than to spend another night beside you
People talking all over town about the way you´ve been putting me down
People talking all over town, they don´t want to see you around
