You Should Have Come To Me
Ben Harper · Other Songs - Ben Harper
He's running with it, so go ahead, go ahead man
Smooth, little one
You like to throw your hand beneath and run
Move back to L.A. for some sun
Leave us to clean up this mess you done
You should have come to me when you told her about us
You should have come to me
You should have come to me when your love ran dry
You should have come to me
Choose your better friend, I can see then
At the expense of my rearend
Make me look real bad
And you just not so good
I dont know how you can keep on going like you do
You should have come to me when you told her about it
You should have come to me
You should have come to me when your love ran dry
You should have come to me
I see the way that you ran and hide
I see the way that you fooled her eyes
I see the way that you ran inside
You should have come to me
Come
It takes two to tango, and only one to tell
And I'm sure you made us seem
Like I was the one crawling back from hell
All the reason, to step you out of my life
I am gonna squeeze one last tune out of you
Before I take it back
You should have come to me when you told her about it
You should have come to me
God Damn babe
You should have come to me when you told her about it
You should have come to me
You should have come to me when your love ran dry
You should have come to me
