It Stops With Me

It Stops With Me - The Hot Club Of Cowtown

When you tuck me in at night

Roll up the covers turn out the light

Kiss me on the cheek and say

I heard Tony Chop-Chop got away

Now the window must stay open

Don't touch it little boy

If you're still here in the morning

I'll buy you a brand new toy

Don't know what jack saw in you

The old man wouldn't see the truth

You didn't want us in the deal

So you ground up dirt and put it in our meals

There was method in the madness

You were slippery as an eel

You're a family epidemic

I don't like how it feels

You're the toast of the town

With neighbors around

You're the cool one

You're a chameleon

And I'm waiting for the change

When you come up for air

With a hundred yard stare coming undone

This party is no fun

You've lost hold of the reins

Time has passed

And I've moved on

Made up my mind

To forget the wrong

Life is sweeter when you share

Even strangers show they care

I've buried the hatchet

It stops with me

Hate costs plenty

Love would have been free

You're the toast of the town

With neighbors around

You're the cool one

You're a chameleon

And I'm waiting for the change

When you come up for air

With a hundred yard stare coming undone

This party is no fun

You've lost hold of the reins

Time has passed

And I've moved on

Made up my mind

To forget the wrong

Life is sweeter when you share

Even strangers show they care

I've buried the hatchet

It stops with me

Hate costs plenty

Love would have been free

Hate costs plenty

Love would have been free
