This is a repost of my blog from 1/10/08. These are my original lyrics, slightly revised...
T.L.C. (Tender Lovin' Codependency)
I'm picking up the jagged little pieces you leave behind
Every time you shatter, get broken and battered
Yeah, it's a down and dirty job but I really don't mind
'Cause it's the only only thing that really seems to matter
Now I don't want to find someone better, baby
Just for you to be your very best
With the shit you put me through it seems like lately
You're really putting me to the test
But I like it, baby
'Cause my heart just seems to seek
The wounded and the weak,
The damaged and the damned
The failures and the fools,
The breakers of the rules,
The unfortunate man
Fixin' you ain't fixin' me
But it's what I live and breathe to do
Forget my own pain, cause this is more than I can handle
So how 'bout if I feel yours for you?
I hope you appreciate all that I do
Just where would you be without me?
No one could ever love you as 'real' as I do
Now when will you start loving me?
Some say I've just mistaken pity for love
But I guess that they just don't see
I work so hard to fill you up, I'm never empty enough
and nobody's here to fill up me
'Cause my heart just seems to seek
The wounded and the weak,
The damaged and the damned
The failures and the fools,
The breakers of the rules,
The unfortunate man
Get some of this TLC
Tender
Loving
Codependency
Tell me all about your problems
I'll forget about mine
I'll tell you just what you should feel
Need me like I want you to
Love me more than life
Consume me like your last meal
Do you realize what I do for you, how you've done me so wrong?
And you can see that I am still standin' here
I've been teaching you to love me but it's takin' so long
I sure hope that your submission is near
Yeah, my heart just seems to seek
The wounded and the weak,
The damaged and the doomed
The unlucky and the tired,
The ultra-uninspired,
The living entombed
Let me tell you what you need
Come and get some TLC
