If Love Is Kind (Why Are You Tryin' To Kill Me?)
Words and music by Julie Black
IF LOVE IS KIND, WHY ARE YOU TRYIN' TO KILL ME?
YEAH LOVE IS SUCH A SPLENDID' THING UNLESS IT'S WITH YOU
THEY SAY YOU MUST BE CRUEL TO BE KIND
BUT I DON'T THING THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD IN MIND
YEAH IF LOVE IS KIND WHY ARE YOU TRYIN' TO KILL ME?
WELL YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D GIVE UP ALL YOUR DRINKIN'
IF I'D TAKE YOUR HAND AND BE YOUR LOVIN' WIFE
BUT AS SOON AS THAT BOTTLE HIT THE GROUND
ANOTHER ONE WAS GOIN' DOWN
NOW I'M DOIN' HARD TIME IN THIS CRAZY LIFE.
YEAH YOU SPENT MY HARD EARNED MONEY AT THE RACES
AND NOW THE LANDLORD'S KNOCKIN' AT THE DOOR
HE TOOK MY STUFF EVEN THE BROOM,
NOW ALL I GOTS THIS EMPTY ROOM
AND TOMMORROW HE'S EXPECTIN' EVEN MORE
CHORUS
WHY YOU CAUSE ME SO MUCH PAIN
YOU ARE DRIVING ME INSANE
YEAH YOU'RE MAKING ME CRAZY
YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID BABY, I SAID YOU'RE MAKING ME CRAZY
CHORUS
OH I SAW YOU IN YOUR CAR WHEN I WAS DRIVIN'
YOU SAID YOU WAS THINKIN' BOUT COMIN' BACK
AS SOON AS I GOT NEAR THE TRUNK,
YOU HIT THE GAS & OUT SHE JUMPED
SOME TOOTHLESS HUSSIE FROM YOUR RECENT PAST
CHORUS
