Words and music by Ben Harper
The line "Funny things you learn from your mama, like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills" comes from a book of poetry entitled "If I put my hands lightly over your eyes" written by Terri Phillips. Original words are "It's strange the things you learn from your mother, like the way to throw your head back when you're swallowing pills".
We made love until we cried and cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realise our hearts were struck were fear
How in just a moment time could one see for ever after
I gently lie beside of you and dream away with my tears
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Funny things you learn from your mama
Like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills
Funny things you learn from your papa
Like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still
But that was now and this is then it never lasts for long
How I miss the good old days but I'm so glad they're gone
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
I'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me
So you could help me out with my dependancy
'Cause I'm hoplessly addicted, addicted to your sorrow
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
