(Rodney Crowell) I treat him like a stallion I treat him like a lamb I treat him like a pot of gold He treats me like a clown It's daggers when he looks at me Bullets when he speaks Evil how he calls on me Pretending that he's so weak He'll be anybody's darling He'll be anything but mine He's got all new friends, Hollywood has him
Better off than other people in this world There are fools to follow him, rearrange him Changing everything I hoped that I might save Always just another rainy day away He needs me but only to hold his hand Don't like being alone He holds me but not like a lover can He wants me but not like I am
