Baby I can't please you I can't please you Every time you start to criticize I can see the misery in your eyes You say I make your pain You're trying to turn the blame all around you Baby I can't please you I can't please you You take the words I say and make them mean Everything they don't baby your obscene You don't listen you don't hear You're blinded by the fear that surrounds you Baby I can't please you I can't please you I know you say love when you mean control You buy the truth and your heart is cold So you live in shadows Baby I can't please you You try to tell the world how it should spin But you live in terror with the hollow man Who stun you with their lies With fever in their eyes as they drown you Baby I can't please you I can't please you
