A Martyr For My Love For You - The White Stripes

Lyrics
words to study

She was sixteen and six feet tall

In a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo

She stumbled started to slip and fall

Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes

I happened to catch her and said,

"maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"

Maybe for you, now

But not as shaky as I must have seemed

Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream

And on the phone I could not compete

My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak

For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet

But sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice

I heard myself speak

[Chorus:]

I could stay a while

But sooner or later I'll break your smile

And I can tell a joke

But one of these days I'm bound to choke

And we could share a kiss

But I feel like I can't go through with this
