John Wesley Harding - Negative Love lyrics

Negative love

Skeptical lies beneath the frown

Negative love

You're always putting other people down

Then they're gone

As they fade away well who's to say that you were wrong?

Negative love

The radio's playing my request

Negative love

You lie before me unimpressed

Why say yes?

When you know all the ways to say “no” best?

Please don't make an exception for me

Don't make an exception

There's no hope for me and you

‘Cause I'm a little negative too

Cynical you

I see the look that's in your eyes

Cynical you

And it's saying I don't sympathize

No surprise

Only the naive believe in love and other lies and

Please don't make an exception for me

Don't make an exception

There's no hope for me and you

‘Cause I'm a little negative too

I'm a little negative too

We're the wrong side of one

I should change my name to John (?)

Or maybe we're onto something

Could we end up positive after all?

Please don't lower your standards for me

Don't lower your standards

There's no hope for me and you

‘Cause I'm a little negative too

There's nothing for me and you

Cause I'm a little negative

I'm a little cynical

I'm a little negative

I'm a little critical

I'm a little negative too
