Black Sheep Lyrics by Blue Kid

Upright, Love

2012

[Verse 1]
Let's sit down
Stop giving me the run around
This isn't really that profound
It's just never gonna work
You get wound up
'Till we end up spread around
But we simply got no common ground
You know it's never gonna work
You look spent
Quit asking me if I'll relent
'Cause you know I did my diligence
You know it's never gonna work
Stop pretending
No, you know we can't be friends
Not when this is how it ends
You know it's never gonna work

[Pre-Chorus]
Sugar, you were set up to fail
Right from the beginning
The beginning
There's no shame in turning tail
'Cause there's no winning
No winning
Let's just agree to bail 'cause
These sails need trimming

[Chorus]
So I put up a fight
Go at it all night
But you know that I'm right this time
And you're making me bleed
But I am not what you need
And baby, someday you'll see that I
Would be your black sheep

[Verse 2]
How you're [?]
Excuse me if I'm noncommittal
I'm merely trying to be civil
But it's never gonna work
Your drive will shrivel
Your mom'll think I'm rude and brittle
And I'll treat you like you're second fiddle
No, it's never gonna work

[Pre-Chorus]
Sugar, you were set up to fail
From the get go
From the get go
So close your eyes and exhale and
Try to let go
Try to let go
All of your precious travails, well
You will regret those
Oh, babe

[Bridge]
I laugh at you when you take the bait
Put chips in all of your dinner plates
Fuck up your favorite recipe
Miss your birthday
Put holes in all your traditions
Those errors of omission
I'll be your black sheep

[Chorus]
I'll put up a fight
And go at it all night
But you know that I'm right this time
And you're making me bleed
But I am not what you need
And baby, someday you'll see that I
Would be your black sheep

[Verse 3]
Let's sit down
Stop giving me the run around
You know, this isn't really that profound
It's just never gonna work
Your drive will shrivel
Your mom'll think I'm rude and brittle
I'll treat you like you're second fiddle
No, it's never gonna work

[Pre-Chorus]
Sugar, you were set up to fail
From the outset
From the outset
You thought that you coulda nailed it
Beyond any doubt
Beyond any doubt, well
Fact is that we're gonna fail if
We don't bow out, yeah
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Put up a fight
Go at it all night
But you know that I'm right this time
And you're making me bleed
But I am not what you need
And baby, someday you'll see that I
Would be your black sheep

[Chorus]
We could put it up a fight
Go at it all night
But you know that I'm right this time
And you're making me bleed
But I am not what you need
And baby, someday you'll see that I
Would be your black sheep

[Outro]
Let's sit down
Stop giving me the run around
You know it's never gonna work
