Have It Your Way

Thisis a song I wrote about domestic violence. The lead is trying to tell her that she won't make it without him. The backup is saying that she can make it and is trying to get her to go out on her own. She has a fondness for the backup, and the lead hate

[Only backing vocals sing chorus.]

Your makeup is smeared,

And running like tears.

Come back to me and I'll help you.

I love you dear,

You're my hope and cheer.

And you know that I'd never hurt you.

But don't make me mad,

Because I'll make you sad.

It's not your place to cross me.

I'm right here,

Holding you dear.

Making sure that you'll never leave me.

 

chorus:

He can't stand thinking that,

You can stand being out.

He won't have it any other way,

Than having you stay.

 

Don't listen to him.

He's only a whim.

You'll get over that lust so quickly.

I know what you need.

What you need is me.

I'm the only one who really loves you.

I'm not the best,

But better than the rest.

They only want to hurt you.

Stay next to me.

It's the only place for you to be,

Because out in the world hate haunts you.

 

chorus:

He can't stand thinking that,

You can stand being out.

He won't have it any other way,

Than having you stay.

 

I can't stand thinking that,

You can't stand being here.

Go ahead and go away from me.

Have it your way.
