Lyrics
Listen
Pretty mama
I won’t be with you tonight
I know
You hear me, yeah
I won’t be with you tonight
Listen up, for goodness sakes
Me, I never had much breaks
Opened up my heart and then they all just let me down
Whoa down
Listen
Sweet baby, yeah
I won’t be with you tonight
Somewhere
You hear me, yeah
I won’t be with you tonight
And the love you gave to me
Will increase my will to be, be
Down
December 18-22, 2001 demos
Listen
Pretty mama
I won't be with you tonight
Because (I know)
You left me
For someone younger than I
[...]
Listen
I know it's
Too late for me to tell
Why I can't please you
Like I did when I was well
[...]

Listen
Sweet baby
I know it's too late to explain
Why I can't please you
Like I did when I was sane
