Magdalene Baker - I Never Get What I Want

My mother warned me against men who chip away at my resolve
But you carved me like DaVinci, sculpted my mind and body
And the girl I was dissolved
I had a dream I was swinging my legs off the dock at your lake
We stood barefoot in the sand
You offered me your hand
I just walked away
But even when I left
I was begging you to stay
I never wanted to love you
But I never get what I want
Go around and tell your version of the truth
But I know
That I haunt your dreams
You hate me more than you hate the rest of your enemies
I'll brush it off with a laugh and a smirk and
You walk around like you're so tough
But I know that you're hurt
Tell me something I don't know
Without your condescending tone
Keep it short and sweet
I'm sure you'll have plenty to write about now that I'm not lying at your feet
I beat you at your own game
Cat and mouse but the mouse was tired of being chased
I'm not the type of woman who worships
I'm the type who shoves and pushes
But even when I stopped
You took it the furthest
I never wanted to love you
But I never get what I want
Go around and tell your version of the truth
But I know
That I haunt your dreams
You hate me more than you hate the rest of your enemies
I'll brush it off with a laugh and a smirk and
You walk around like you're so tough
But I know that you're hurt
Whisper my Christian name once more
Pretend I'm still the girl that you adored
Can you find more ways to take me for granted
I was whole when we first met
Now I'm only a percentage
