Don T Look Twice
Ben Harper · Other Songs - Ben Harper
In the days of love and ire
I was a fool for you
Gave you my heart and soul
But it was hardly enough
It ain't love unless it brings you to your knees
It ain't salvation if you're still begging to be free
Don't look twice
Don't look twice
Be glad your worries ain't like mine
If your ship hasn't come in
Don't have a problem with the shore
If you don't like that, your house
Don't have a problem with your door
It doesn't no make mistress
Like I'm in snake mood
Wake up in the morning
Honey, I'll be gone
Don't look twice
Don't look twice
Be glad your worries ain't like mine
You know it's bad when the ceiling says to the floor
I'll trade ya places I can't take it up here no more
I'm a living nervous habit
I tremble and I twitch
People keep pulling at me
Like I'm some kinda hanging stitch
Don't look twice
Don't look twice
Be glad your worries ain't like mine
I was a fool for you
Gave you my heart and soul
But it was hardly enough
It ain't love unless it brings you to your knees
It ain't salvation if you're still begging to be free
Don't look twice
Don't look twice
Be glad your worries ain't like mine
If your ship hasn't come in
Don't have a problem with the shore
If you don't like that, your house
Don't have a problem with your door
It doesn't no make mistress
Like I'm in snake mood
Wake up in the morning
Honey, I'll be gone
Don't look twice
Don't look twice
Be glad your worries ain't like mine
You know it's bad when the ceiling says to the floor
I'll trade ya places I can't take it up here no more
I'm a living nervous habit
I tremble and I twitch
People keep pulling at me
Like I'm some kinda hanging stitch
Don't look twice
Don't look twice
Be glad your worries ain't like mine
