Accidentally Like A Martyr (Prelude Alt.)
Warren Zevon
Why'd I let you get to me again?
You get me all confused.
Can't I get it through my head I'm only being used?
Why'd I let you get to me again?
Why'd I let you win?
Knowing you were only going to nail me up again.
Makin' mad love, shadow love, random love, and abandoned love,
Accidentally, like a martyr.
The hurt gets worse, and the heart gets harder.
Why'd I let you get to me again?
You treat me like a fool.
Sometimes I wonder if you're being deliberately cruel.
Can't I ever get it through my head?
Maybe time I learned.
But the greedy just get greedier and the vulnerable get burned.
Makin' mad love, shadow love, random love, and abandoned love,
Accidentally, like a martyr.
Yeah.
The hurt gets worse, and the heart gets harder.
Why'd I give you all the love I had to squander like you did?
My friends all shook the heads and sighed, "Such a naive kid".
My friends all shook their heads and wished I'd find somebody else.
And now I'm all alone and feeling sorry for myself.
Makin' mad love, shadow love, random love, and abandoned love,
Accidentally, like a martyr.
The hurt gets worse, and the heart gets harder.
(hey hey hey)
(hey hey hey)
(hey hey hey)
Now we're making mad love, shadow love, random love, and abandoned love.
Accidentally like a martyr
Hey hey hey
And the hurt gets worse as the heart gets harder.
(hey hey hey)
(hey hey hey)
(hey hey hey)
