Can't Pull The Wool Down (Over The Little Lamb's Eyes)

I can feel you, I can feel you, baby

Smirkin' in the shadows and hopin' that I fall

I remember when you loved me, baby

I let you play the brave, you made me feel so small

We're still fightin' through the same world

You can tempt and try to coax me, I will never be your girl again

Walk that walk till you drop, cock your head and wear a crown

But you can't pull the wool down over the little lamb's eyes

You have no fear of failure

You got the mirror, baby, you got a good tailor

You have no fear, you're not like everyone

You're not afraid of losin' or of being left alone

That suit you're stuck in fits you to a tee

But you're waltzin' ‘round a land mine if you think you're bluffin' me

Mumble through your cigarette, sympathize with every breath

But you can't pull the wool down over the little lamb's eyes

Listen you say you know how it feels, baby

But you don't know what it's like

And you can't pull the wool down over the little lamb's eyes

Yeah

I've learned a little bit about being hard

I can see you, I can see you, baby

Ever poised for some eternal snapshot

Well, I know you, you needn't worry, baby

I won't blow your cover, I'll tell ‘em what you got

Well, I know you, I know you, baby

I won't blow your cover, don't sweat it out

You can't pull the wool down, can't pull the wool down

Can't pull the wool down over the little lamb's eyes

You can't pull the wool down, can't pull the wool down

Can't, no ... pull it down

You wanna watch me bleed

You've come to pick the bones clean, baby

No, but you can't bully me, no, no you can't

Yeah, you wanna watch me bleed

You've come to pick the bones clean

You better watch what you do, yeah
