Love I've been thinkin' of you

And the things I used to do

And the trouble I make

Love you'd be better off dead

With a bullet in your head

Than to come back to me

Keep it on the down low

Don't tell everybody you know

I loved you more than I showed

But I'm only a man

And my pride makes demands

That only ever lead me to sorrow

So burn all the letters I sent

For every word that I meant

There were two that were lies

And forget every nice thing I said

There were thoughts in my head

That would make you cry

Keep it on the down low

Don't tell everybody you know

I loved you more than I showed

But I'm only a man

And my pride makes demands

That only ever lead me to sorrow

I was makin' you sad

I have a heart but it is bad

Keep it on the down low

Don't tell everybody you know

I loved you more than I showed

But I'm only a man

And my pride makes demands

That only ever lead me to sorrow

So go good luck try to grow

Break the habits I show

While you still got time

And find someone who cares

For you and himself

While you still got time
