Buttercup Lyrics by Lucinda Williams

Blessed

2011

You talk about the junk you did
Like you talk about climbing trees
You look like a little kid
With bruises on your knees

You will never cop
To the damage that's been done
You will never stop
'Cause it's too much fun

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup
Good luck finding your buttercup

You already suck me dry
Can't do it any more, honey
You rough me up and make me cry
And you wanna borrow money

You say you feel like a failure
And wish you could take it all back
Well honey, I gotta tell ya
It's a little too late for that

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup
Good luck finding your buttercup

One reason after the other
You're always feeling bad
Maybe you couldn't talk to your mother
Or stand up to your dad

You want my forgiveness
That I'll give to you
But you got yourself into this mess
There's nothing I can do

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup
Good luck finding your buttercup

The first time I saw you
You made me melt
The last time I saw you
You hit below the belt

You might have a beautiful mouth
You might have beautiful eyes
But sooner or later, it'll all go south
You tell too many lies

Now you want somebody to be your buttercup
Good luck finding your buttercup
Good luck finding your buttercup
Good luck finding your buttercup
