I was born on the other side
Of a town ripped in two
And no matter how hard I tried
I'd end up black and blue
I rose from off of the doctor's slab
I lost a piece of my heart
Now everyone gets to take a stab
They cut me up into parts
I gave a piece to my mother
I gave a piece to my man

and my heart always crashes
without my rose colored, rose colored glasses.
They only see what they wanna see
and my love can turn to ashes
without my rose colored, rose colored glasses.
Just show me love and I'll be allright.
I've heard every line so don't waste my time.
And if these men are any indication of what's going on,
then I'm keeping them on, I'm keeping them on, my...
CHORUS
