this ain’t no way

she left a letter on the table
saying all her hope was lost
and I knew right then that she’d be back again
she always has to get her point across

this ain’t no way to live, pretty baby
this ain’t no way to live

the sun was coming through the kitchen
the last time I ever heard her sing
it was “this is dedicated to the one I love”
and I can still feel it sting

this ain’t no way to live, pretty baby
this ain’t no way to live

she never makes any excuses
for never making up her mind
she’s got demons on ice rolling loaded dice
waiting for one of a kind

singing “this ain’t no way to live, pretty baby”
this ain’t no way

she left a message on the table
beside a Bible opened up to psalms
and I swore right there that I did not care
‘cause honey, we ain’t the chosen ones

this ain’t no way to live, pretty baby
this ain’t no way
