Songtext Bedside manners The Black Crowes

Bedside manners

"Do not disturb" on the door
Pile of clothes on the floor
Bedside manners, profane grammar
I've seen this scene before

Ooh, it's got me down on my knees
Begging but I won't say please
Shell-shocked and rolling, bells are tolling
But this won't be the end of me

If you don't want my diamonds, don't shake my tree
Girl, you think you know what's good for me
Flies in my eyes, but I can still see
What you're doing to me

Put a knife in my back. Expect me to say "please"?
With friends like these who needs enemies?

Fighting over rags
Dirty fingers in the bag
Parasites inside ya
Ride the Black Mariah
Thumbprints and toe tags

A million stone-cold miles
Sore throats and empty vials
My heart's been ravaged
Torn apart and savaged
But here I am, all smiles

If you don't want my diamonds, don't shake my tree
Yeah, you think you know what's good for me
Flies in my eyes, but I can still see
What you're doing to me

Stab a knife in my back, and then you want a plead
With friends like these who needs enemies?

Alright
Wanna get gone
All gone, long gone, gone
Oh, wave my way
All gone, long gone, gone
And there was some way out
All gone, long gone, gone
Oh yeah, blow it yet, I get gone, baby
All gone, long gone, gone
On down the road, bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye, babe
All gone, long gone, gone
Oh yeah, ooh yeah, ain't that right?
All gone, long gone, gone
Ain't that right? Said goodbye-bye-bye-bye-bye
Gone, yeah, said get-get gone, y'all
Get gone, y'all, said bye-bye, y'all
Said get gone, y'all, get-get-get-get
