Kimberly (Sucks to be Me)

(Verse#1)

It was the 20th of June and we were on the back porch singing, I was watching you watching your wedding ring, doing back-flips to the lawn. I watched you feel that kick inside, that only women have, and then you said you hated me and I knew we'd never fucked.

(Chorus)

Sucks to be you, sucks to be me, proud the day you didn't bleed, Sucks to be you, sucks to be at war, pain the day you found your clothes outside your door

(Verse#2)

Highway lights glow far away as your mother calls you in, and you've got a job 'til your kid arrives, you wonder sometimes if there was a way you could've kept him home. But he was happy to be a husband but didn't want to be a dad, and your mother remembers tie-dye and says you just got bad luck

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

And there's two children in your childhood bed. One cries herself to sleep and the other's not there yet. And you can't hate the man whose baby you bear, so you hate me because I'm the man who's there

(Chorus)
