Some Kind of Awful (Song)

by Scrittore   Oct 24, 2017


I must be some kind of awful
I must be real real bad
I must be some kind of awful
For you to treat me like that

What did I do to deserve this?
Did you think I wouldn't care
As you twisted my heart around your fingers
Then crushed it in your hand
You can't say I was overbearing
So many questions I'd like to ask
But in the knowing
Would it hurt any less?

I must be some kind of awful
I must be real real bad
I must be some kind of awful
For you to treat me like that

How can your conscience allow this
How can your heart bear the weight
Are your words as sweet and delicate
To the others girls face
And did you think I would continue
Continue loving you
Did you think that I would keep putting up
With all you put me through

I must be some kind of awful
I must be real real bad
I must be some kind of awful
For you to treat me like that

And second chances don't come by often
But freely did I give it
Did you know that you were unworthy
Of a woman's love that would forgive
And in my shame in you showed me
And in your shame you show
I was a fool to permit it

You must be some kind of awful
You must be real real bad
You must be some kind of awful
To treat a woman like that

To treat a woman like me
Who gave her love freely
To man who proved unworthy

You must be some kind of awful
You must be real real bad
You must be some kind of awful
To discard a woman like that
You must be some kind of awful
You must be some kind of awful
(Real real bad)
You must be some kind of awful
To treat a woman like me like that
