"Backwards Women" lyrics - THE JAYHAWKS

THE JAYHAWKS
"Backwards Women"

When you're down crawlin' out your window
And you can't seem to stay in one place

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
We've been thinkin'
'Bout better days
We've been drinkin'
It's miles away

[Chorus:]
I, I don't wanna love you but I'll try
Try to stay away from you next time

I love backwards women
In the pool halls underneath the neon sun

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I've been wasted
On the run
I've been chasin'
Troubled ones

[Chorus:]
I, I don't wanna love you but I'll try
Try to stay away from you next time

[Bridge:]
Every street sign says "stop, turn around"
I can't help myself even though it runs me down

[Instrumental]

Yesterday, show your face, [gets tomorrow?]
There's a weight that drags you down across the floor

[Chorus:]
I, I don't wanna love you but I'll try
Try to stay away from you next time
But I, I don't wanna love you but I'll try
Try to stay away from you next time
