Just after I screamed at you-- What the hell is it all about You spilled your coffee Onto my sleeve And you said Don't expect the tears To come from me babe For I've already grieved
But that's when you let me Back into your dream
And I know you're frightened By my laughter But you're not afraid To hold my pain You see I'm never sure Just what you're after, Babe But it seems you only love me When it rains
You never treat me Like you treat a gentle man You only hit me When you know it hurts But then why bother reaching down To where I'm battered To raise me up From the dirt
But that's when you let me Back into your dream
And I know you're frightened By my laughter But you're not afraid To hold my pain You see I'm never sure Just what you're after, Babe But it seems you only love me When it rains
Yes I have sworn To myself to stay protected So I have strapped on A sword and shield But my armour Yes it ends up meltin' When you come along tumblin' Across the field Once again I yield, I yield
Yes you get me crazy 'Cause you never even wear my presents babe You wear flowers tucked into your hair But when I'm cursin' in the night In my frustration That's when suddenly you are there
Once again that's when you let me Back into your dream
And I know you're frightened By my laughter But you're not afraid To hold my pain You see I'm never sure Just what you're after, Babe But it seems you only love me When it rains
