"Why Do You Do Me Like You Do?" lyrics

John Hartford Lyrics

"Why Do You Do Me Like You Do?"

You hit me in the face in the middle of the night
I try to sleep while you want to fight
And it's just in your mind that I didn't do right

Why do you do me like you do?
Why do you do me like you do?
Have mercy on me
Why do you do me like you do?
Well, and you know the only time I ever ran around on you
Was in your dreams

You'd better lay off all that coffee 'fore you climb into bed
Or whatever's been giving you that soap opera head
'Cause one of these day's I'm gonna wake up dead

Why do you do me like you do?
Why do you do me like you do?
Have mercy on me
Why do you do me like you do?
Well, and you know the only time I ever ran around on you
Was in your dreams

Now you filled my ears and knocked me down on the floor
You've cut out my tongue and left me tired and sore
When I turn off the light you think I'm asking for more

Why do you do me like you do?
Why do you do me like you do?
Have mercy on me
Why do you do me like you do?
Well, and you know the only time I ever ran around on you
Was in your dreams
