Song Lyrics

"Come Prepared"

by Heath McNease
Album: The House Always Wins

Gimme just one more reason,
Gimme one why you're leaving,
Tell me now why I'm pleading,
Look at my heart just bleeding

On the doorstep I walked to,
Many 'a time, I fought you,
Many 'a fight, I lost to

You, you come prepared

Gimme just one example,
Gimme one proof or sample,
Gimme the truth, I'll handle,
Tell me who holds the candle
Any other clown would crumble
Any given down, he'd fumble
Any given round, he'd stumble
Over his tongue, I mumble

But I, I come prepared
And you ain't fighting fair

[Chorus:]
'Cause you toss your hair up 'round
(Gimme just one good reason,
My my my)
And all my defenses fall down
(Any other man would stumble,
But not me)
Yeah, you come and go as you please
And I chase you 'round on my knees

[Breakdown:]
Let's forget us, let's forbid us,
Stick a fork in us,
Less is more with us,
'Guess it's more than just
Love is war,
It sucks to be stuck in that morbid clutch

But there are more unfortunate
Folks that get stuck 'til the courts erupt
By then I'll be sweet to the next
Heartbreak,
Heart-rate beat through my chest
By then I'd be onto another
Reason to write another song
And another...
By then I'd be onto another
Reason to write another song

[Chorus:]
'Cause you toss your hair up 'round
(Gimme just one good reason,
My my my)
And all my defenses fall down
(Any other man would stumble,
But not me)
Yeah, you come and go as you please
And I chase you 'round on my knees
