Standells - Why Pick on Me Lyrics

Poison lips dipped in wine
Out to get this heart of mine
Candy kisses don't mean a thing
If only lies those kisses bring

Platinum hair, black at the roots
Short, short skirts and dirty boots
Have an act, and that's only an actor
Tryin' to make my poor heart cry

Why pick on me, why pick on me?
Do you get your kicks when you see me cry?
Why pick on me, yeah, why pick on me?
Is this the way I'll have to get your high?

If you choose to play the field
Then you choose to know how it feels
When somebody messes you up
When he thinks that you've had enough

Why pick on me, baby, why pick on me?
Do you get your kicks when you see me cry, cry, cry?
Why pick on me, why pick on me?
Is this the way I'll have to get your high?

Long hair up against my skin
But never once have you given in
To any one of my wants or needs
No matter how my poor heart bleeds

Why pick on me, baby, why pick on me?
Do you get your kicks when you see me cry, cry, cry, cry?
Why pick on me, baby, why pick on me?
Is this the way I'll have to get your high?

Does it feel good?

Why pick on me, baby, why pick on me?
Do you get your kicks when you see me
Crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl?
Why pick on me, baby, why pick on me?
Do you get your kicks when you see me
Cry (crawl), cry (crawl)?

Feels good?

Why pick on me, baby, why pick on me?
Do you get your kicks when you see me cry, cry?

You do, don't you?
Why pick on me, baby
