[VERSE ONE]

Will that glitter run when I make you cry?

When you hear my name, do you want to die?

Do I haunt your dreams when it's late at night?

Do you think of me in the fading light?

[Chorus]

Don't beat me black and blue

Don't bring me back to you

And I just can't stay sober -

Not when she comes over

Don't know what happened to -

How I imagined you

And you are far from golden

You're a mind controller

[VERSE TWO]

High-heeled shoes, black dress

Are you worried because you're depressed?

"Give me something, I need more

Come on baby, aren't you a whore?"

Those are just some of the things that I heard your ex-boyfriend say

Do you stay with him because you don't think you deserve nicer things

[BRIDGE]

High-heeled shoes, black dress

Are you worried because you're depressed?

"Give me something, I need more

Come on baby, aren't you a whore?"

[Chorus]

Don't beat me black and blue

Don't bring me back to you

And I just can't stay sober -

Not when she comes over

Don't know what happened to -

How I imagined you

And you are far from golden

You're a mind controller

Don't beat me black and blue

Don't bring me back to you

And I just can't stay sober -

Not when she comes over

Don't know what happened to -

How I imagined you

And you are far from golden

You're a mind controller
