Love Me If You Must

The minute I began to suspect
That the boy was falling
Did what I could
Told him, "I’m no good"
He refused to hear me calling
You put your time
In a heart like mine
All your dreams gonna turn to dust
You can consider yourself warned
Darling, love me if you must

I never knew just what to do
To keep a boy from cryin’
I’m just that way; every word I say
Gonna come out as lying
You’ll raise the stakes
Till your heart breaks
And your dreams they all turn to rust
You can consider yourself warned
Darling, love me if you must

If I’m unfaithful
If I’m untrue
If I spend all your pay
If you can’t sleep
Get in too deep
You had your chance
To run away

The money’s in
And the bets are down
You ain’t going very far
Those blood-shot eyes
They won’t recognize
Just another lovesick scar
If it’s crazy; if it’s love
Darling, if it’s only lust
You can consider your self warned
Darling love me if you must

You can consider your self warned
Darling, love me if you must
