Push Lyrics

[00:11.05] She said, "I don't know if I've ever been good enough
[00:15.64] I'm a little bit rusty
[00:17.24] And I think my head is cavin' in
[00:22.70] And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
[00:26.79] By a hand that's touched me
[00:28.55] And I feel like something's gonna give
[00:32.99] And I'm a little bit angry"
[00:34.74] Well, this ain't over
[00:39.09] No, not here
[00:43.11] Not while I still need you around
[00:47.56] You don't owe me, we might change, yeah
[00:54.65] Yeah, we just might feel good

[01:25.40] Yeah, I will
[01:31.02] She said, "I don't know why you ever would lie to me
[01:35.42] Like I'm a little untrustin'
[01:37.14] When I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
[01:42.70] And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
[01:46.69] You couldn't stand to be near me
[01:48.68] When my face don't seem to want to shine
[01:52.46] 'Cause it's a little bit dirty"
[01:54.70] Oh, well, well, don't just stand there
[01:58.63] Sayin' nice things to me
[02:03.14] 'Cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged, and you
[02:07.47] You don't know me, yeah, well, I can't change
[02:14.60] Well, I won't do anything at all
[02:17.59] I wanna push you around
[02:20.41] Well, I will, well, I will
[02:23.29] I wanna push you down
[02:26.06] Well, I will, well, I will
[02:28.74] I wanna take you for granted
[02:33.99] Yeah, I wanna take you for granted
[02:37.79] Yeah, yeah, well, I will
[02:40.63] Oh, but don't bowl me over
[02:43.10] Just wait a minute, well, it kinda fell apart
[02:46.27] Things get so crazy, crazy
[02:51.99] Don't rush this, baby
[02:57.58] Don't rush this, baby, baby
[03:03.40] I wanna push you around
