Put It On Me Lyrics - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals

Well, she eats nectarines with honey 

Spends her daddy's money, so easy 

She cuts cherry pie 

While she looks you in the eye, so easy 

The innocent naivet of 

Hairless cheek 

The politics of generosity 

Make me weak 

Oh, you put it on me 

You left me lonely, you put it on me 

Oh, you put it on me 

There's an assassin out to get me and they claim that 

She's never missed 

You know the one with an ex-lover 

Whom she claims to have never kissed 

We turned at twenty paces for love is a duel 

And we stood still as stone 

I can't imagine that 

This is in the best interest of flesh and bone, flesh and bone 

Oh, you put it on me 

Oh, you left me lonely, you put it on me, yeah 

You put it on me 

Now I've been living in the city 

For much too long 

There's a neon sign in my mind 

Flashing right and wrong 

I can't afford your company 

I spent my money buying time 

I was lost out in the desert while 

You were busy swimming in wine 

Oh, oh, you know, you put it on me 

Oh, then left me lonely 

Oh, you, you, you, you put it on me 

Oh, you left me lonely 

You put it on me 

Hey, hey, put it on me, put it on me 

You put, put, put, put, put it on me 

You put it on me 

Oh, don't you leave me lonely 

Oh, I don't want to be lonely 

Put it on me 

Put it on me 

Put it on me 

Put it on me
