Poor House Of Love (wil E's Blues)

Well, i gave up on love, and locked myself in
I put up these walls so i'd never fall again
But you broke inside, stole my heart
Leaving me this poorhouse of love

I thought i struck gold, i bought what you said
You stripmined my trust, left my eyes in the red
Baby done tapped me dry, used me up
Left me in the poor house of love

On a lonely avenue (in the poor house of love)
In a room without a view
I'm alone in the dark
And it's falling apart ('cause you ran and you ran and)

You ransacked my heart, ran out on me
There's a hole in my soul, where you used to be
Baby done ran me down, left me flat,
Put me in the poor house of love

I was played for a fool, now i play the blues
We got stoned, y'picked my bones and left without a clue
Talkin' bout curtains down, fire gone
Darkness in the poor house of love
Ona lonely avenue (inthe poor house of love)
In a room with out a view
Now there's nowhere to hide
And i'm dyin' inside (how i tried and i tried to)

Hang on to my pride, and pay all my dues
But i got a foolish heart, stayin' broke, still in love with you
Baby done sucked me in, spit me out
Strapped me with this poor house of love

Down in the the poor house of love (in the poor house of love)
That's where you left me, baby
Curtains down, fire gone, dark here in the poor house of love

You played me for a fool like a fool without a clue
There's a hole - in my soul - girl, it's just so stonedcold

You pulled me in - you pushed me out you sucked me in - you spit me out
You left me a mess condemned at this address
It's so depressed - sending out an s.o.s
