Langhorne Slim - Set Em Up

Well I tried hard to explain
Love you don't understand
You just say "it's on me"

Well I know things don't turn out as planned
Love is hardly what lust was in old company
Don't cry, mama

You make love and it ain't your folks fault
You speak of friends but what's that cost?
And all you do is spend, I'm disappointed in the end
I set em up and knock em down again

Give my regards to your pop
He's the best thing you got
Why don't you go home to him?

And it's alright to sleep alone
Not pick up your phone
You're like a fish without fins
How can you breathe babe?

You make love and speak only when it's time
And I was full when yours became mine
What did you do today when all your family has blown away?
You're doing it all but you're doing it in my way
