Stay away from me, love

Love, you're a punk
You're a jerk and a drunk
Though you stamp and you spit
And you swear you're my best friend

Oh, but what did I say?
What did I say
About coming 'round here again?

Now, did we ever ask
For you to jump inside?
No, we never asked
For you to wreck our lives
But here you are
Stay away from me, Love

Love, you're diseased
And I'm sick 'cause I see
I could search my whole life
But there's no medicine

'Cause what kind of pill
Oh, what kind of shot
Could get the poison out of my skin?

Now, every time I think
That I've recovered and I'm fine
A handsome boy
Let's out a cough and a smile
And you're back again
Stay away from me, Love

Oh, am I too cautious?
Sometimes I think I'm just paranoid
But I get nauseous
When you come around here
And you're acting coy
And you put your ugly hands
On a handsome boy

Love, you're a bum
You show up with your mug
And you beg, and you beg
For anything I've got

But where can I go
And how will I know
If I will ever be free of you?

'Cause, Love, you've got the scent
You've got the scent of my blood
And you'll never give up
When you know that you should
So you find me again
Stay away from me, Love

Oh, it's so obnoxious
Sometimes I think it's all in my head
But I get nervous
When I've got a pretty face
In a pretty bed
And I look into his eyes
And see yours instead

Love, when you come
You will say you're a victim
And you'll cry, and you'll yell
And you'll say I've done you wrong

You'll show your broken wing
And say your broken things
And I will feel myself swept along

But all I ever wanted
Was some peace of mind
And all you ever offered
Is the comfort of a lie
So I still hate you
Stay away from me, Love

Yes, I still hate you
Stay away from me, Love

Oh my god, I hate you!
Stay away from me, Love
