Artist/Band: Ben Harper
Lyrics for Song: Why Must You Always Dress In Black
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Ben Harper



You may be a cheap date

But my therapy's expensive as hell

Then you pay a psychic healer who lets you know

Things aren't really working out so well

Tomorrow's shining off our face

Yesterday's shadow is at our back, at our back

So why must you always dress in black?



People, they don't take advice, they only give it

And the only way you're ever gonna learn is to live it

So what you spent your younger years

Parlaying on the wrong side of the track

Why must you always dress in black?



If you have to lie, do it as quickly

And as thoroughly as you can

This morning I woke up slow feeling like the shell of a man

Don't blame me for us, you cried!

Oh, cut me some slack

And tell me why must you always dress in black?



She wore high heels, the ones that can pierce your heart

Just 'cause you go down in history

Doesn't mean you're really all that smart

Like Robert E. Lee, you're at your best when under attack

Why must you always dress in black?



You call in sick on Monday

Tuesday you show up late

Wednesday you left early

Thursday you fight with a boss you hate

Friday you up and quit

Saturday you want your old job back

Sunday morning you wake up all dressed in black

Why must you always dress in black?
