The White Stripes - A Martyr for My Love for You lyrics
She was sixteen And six feet tall In a crowd of teenagers Coming out of the mall. She stumbled Started to slip and fall Teeter tottered on the top Of patent leather shoes. I happen to catch her and said, "Maybe these ruby shoes are A little cumbersome for you." Maybe for you, now. But, not as shaky As I must've seemed Talking junk through her Giggle little teenage dream. And on the phone I could not compete My dumb luck Fake confidence Was getting weak. And for a sec I thought I sounded sweet. But sure enough In a gruff, faint voice I heard myself speak... I could stay a while But, sooner or later I'll break your smile. And I can tell a joke But, one of these days I'm bound to choke. And we might share a kiss But, I feel like I can't go Through with this. And I bet I could build a home But, I know the right thing For me to do Is to leave you alone. Leave you alone now. I'm beginning to like you So you probably won't get me What I'm going to do. I'm walking away from you It probably don't make sense To you. But, I'm trying to save you From all of the things that I'll probably say or do. I'll probably do, now. She was sixteen And six feet tall In a crowd of teenagers Coming out of the mall. She stumbled Started to slip and fall Teeter tottered on the top Of patent leather shoes. I happen to catch her and said, "Maybe these ruby shoes are A little cumbersome for you." Maybe for you, now. But, not as shaky As I must've seemed Talking junk through her Giggle little teenage dream. And on the phone I could not compete My dumb luck Fake confidence Was getting weak. And for a sec I thought I sounded sweet. But sure enough In a gruff, faint voice I heard myself speak... I could stay a while But, sooner or later I'll break your smile. And I can tell a joke But, one of these days I'm bound to choke. And we might share a kiss But, I feel like I can't go Through with this. And I bet I could build a home But, I know the right thing For me to do Is to leave you alone. Leave you alone, now. You'll probably call me a fool And say I'm doing exactly What a coward would do. And I'm beginning to like you It's a shame. What a lame way to live, But, what can I do? Well, I hope you appreciate What I do... I'm a martyr for my love for you. A martyr for my love for you. A martyr for my love for you. A martyr for my love for you. Oh. |
