Lloyd Cole › Lyrics › Half of Everything

You walk in my house with her lipstick over your face
You tell me you got news for me, well, do you think I can't see straight?
Do you think I can't recognize her perfume on your clothes
You tell me you got news for me, well, I don't need to be told

Let me guess, she's looking for a little peace of mind
I don't want to cause any more pain but could I please have what's mine?
She's got such a pretty please I never could say no
Well just take a half of everything and then please go

And now I know right now you're thinking I'm some crazy kind of fool
But the truth of the matter is I'm just like you
She's some kind of voodoo woman, she said she can't use me anymore
That's what she said to me she said, "I can't use you anymore"

I don't need your lovin'
I don't need your kissin'
I don't need for you to tell me all that I've been missin'

I don't need your lovin'
I don't need your kissin'
I don't need for you to tear me down and tear me down again

Every time you give a little more, she could still use a little more
Every time you give a little more, she could still use a little more
And when you can't give a little more, she could still use a little more
She could still use a little more, she could still use a little more

Tell her that she done me, that she done me good
Tell her that she done me, like a lady should
I never ever seen her and I hope I never do
I might have to show her just what love can do

The sun ain't gonna shine, and the rain is gonna fall
'Cause I put a spell on you
And all the years I cried, all the years that I tried
To save a stillborn love

I know what you're thinking, pretty soon I'll howl at the moon
But you better believe me 'cause I was just like you
Mister, read the writing on the wall, get out while you're still whole
While you're still breathing

I don't need your lovin'
(I don't need your lovin')
Kissin'
(I don't need your kissin')

Lovin', no I don't need
Tear me down again
(I don't need your lovin')
Mmm lovin'
(I don't need your kissin')

Mmm kissin' and I don't need
Tear me down again
(I don't need your lovin')
Yeah
(I don't need your kissin')
No, I don't need her to tear me down again
