Wear Your Love Beside You Lyrics by Gregg Alexander

Intoxifornication

1992

[Chorus]
Wear your love beside you (oh)
Wear your love beside you (ooh)
When you're feeling dusty and blue
Wear your love beside you
Hearts are made for breaking
Raping and forsaking (yeah)
When you got love's lease in your hand
Rip it into pieces
[Post-Chorus]
We are all we need to survive (ah-ha-ha-ha)
We are all we need to survive (ah-ha-ha-ha), love
We are all (all) we need
Let me bleed (bleed)
[Chorus]
Wear your love beside you (no, no, no)
Wear your love beside you (oh)
When you get off the bus (now, now)
Throw off 77 cents
Hearts are made for raping, (no!) raping
Raking and forsaking (no!)
Wake up, kid (no!)
This ain't (no!) Grosse Pointe, no (damn!)
[Post-Chorus]
We are all we need (ah) to survive, ah-ha-ha-ha (oh yeah, you believe all those lies)
When you filled (oh, you believe in anything) me with all of your lies (ah-ha-ha-ha), lies, lies (brainwashed)
I believe I was left emotionally uncircumcised
[Interlude]
Oh my, my, my, my (da-da-da-da-da-da) my, my, my, my (da-da-da-da-da-da) my, my (da-da-da-da-da-da) I know I'm not that man
(Oh, yeah) I can tell (da-da-da-da-da-da) the tell-tale signs (you can) (da-da-da-da-da-da) (wear it, like a coat) (da-da-da-da-da-da)
You used to (da-da-da-da-da-da) smile when my hand (da-da-da-da-da-da) slid up your thigh (throw it down like the big bad wolf)
And don't deny (go riding up the river) that you've been seeing that secret (riding down the stream) guy (da-da-da-da-da), it's alright (welcome to my dream)
You've been seeing that secret guy, heh (oh, ho, ho)
I know our love is dying by the minute (oh, ho, yeah)
(Yeah) I (I just wear it) remember when his Dad told me the telltale signs
Like (wear it) how you're sleepy (wear it, wear it), didn't you sleep? (wear it, wear it)
Once I (la-la, la-la-la), once I touch your (every Sunday, you go to church, slam and I didn't even know it), your body (wear it)
So don't lie and make (beside you) this last another month
I need that time to plan (will you quit talking?)
Your (oh) suicide (quit fucking talking!)
Don't worry, I'm just kidding, I'm not gonna kill you (oh) (shut up!)
I just wanted to let you know I'm not blind (oh ho) (Yes, you are! Yes, you are!)
I know our love is dying by the minute
[Bridge]
(La-la-la)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la (la-la-la)
Oh ho, (la-la-la) oh
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la (And I know 'bout the talk of (ha) the "be kind"), la-la-la
(And I know what you got up your sleeve) Oh yeah, la-la-la
Tick tock, it's dying by the minute, shall we count down? (And it's there and it's black, and it's mean)
Just like (yeah, its's mean) New Years' eve
(Yeah, it's mean) 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 19
(Yeah, it's mean) 18, 17 (mean), 16, 15 (count down the death of our love), 14 (Just like me) 13
12, 11 (Just like me) 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5
(Just like me, ah) 14, just psyching
(Just like me) 4, 3, 2, 1
1, baby, goodbye
[Chorus]
Wear your love beside you
Wear your love beside you
When you're feeling dusty and blue-
