I Love You (but You're Green) Lyrics - Singles - Babyshambles

I was a troubled teen 

Who put adverts in a magazine 

To the annoyance of my imaginary lover 

Well she questioned my integrity 

And this is what she said to me 

She said oh, you, you're green 

You don't know what love means 

Oh let me tell you 

She said it tickles you pink, oh yeah 

But it likes to hear you scream 

Fire and damnation, lamentations 

For the likes of you 

When she goes, just let her go 

If she says she's going 

Just make sure she goes 

Make sure she goes 

I was a troubled teen 

Untroubled only in my daydreams 

To the annoyance of somebody or other 

Oh well, they doubted my philosophy 

And this is what they said to me 

Oh, you, you'll soon be up where you belong 

But it's only blood from broken hearts that writes the words to every song 

Oh a beatific smile 

For the fawners and the servants 

Oh but I, only I, only I 

I can see the serpents 

Oh, you, you're green 

You don't know what love means 

Well let me tell you 

It tickles you pink, oh yeah 

But it likes to hear you scream 

Fire and damnation, lamentations 

For the likes of you 

When she goes, just let her go 

If she says she's going 

Just make sure she goes, make sure she goes 

When she goes 

You just let her go 

If she says she's going 

Make sure she goes, make sure she goes
