Rude Awakenings Lyrics - Dropkick Murphys

The bed was still warm where I slept 

From these hours I wish to forget 

With the night still fresh on my breath 

I awoke to the grim face of death 

I thought it was all just a nightmare 

I guess it was true 

As I crawled across the floor for the door 

From one room I don't know to the next 

There was nothing familiar around 

And it just ain't my style to leave the seat down 

I pulled on my clothes still half in a dream 

As I struggled with my conscience & a multidirectional stream 

(What ya take her for) 

I buried my loneliness with her for the night 

Then I left with new symptoms no antidepressant could cure 

(What ya take her for) 

She took me for all I was worth 

May I remind you that ain't much at all 

A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times 

As it turns out you weren't worth the call 

I though it was all just a nightmare 

I guess it was true 

But now I'm left with a daily reminder of you 

With equal surprise she opened her eyes 

Sat up & shouted "for christ sakes who the hell are you!" 

(What she take ya for) 

She cooked me my breakfast then called me a cab 

Shoved me out the door & threw the five dollar 

Fare in my face 

(What she take ya for) 

She took me for all I was worth 

May I remind you that ain't much at all 

A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times 

As it turns out you weren't worth the call 

I though it was all just a nightmare 

I guess it was true 

But now I'm left with a daily reminder of you
