Sweet Side Lyrics - Live At The Fillmore - Lucinda Williams

You run yourself ragged tryin' to be strong 

You feel bad when you nothin' wrong 

Love got all confused with anger and pride 

So much abuse on such a little child 

Someone you trusted told you to shut up 

Now there's a pain in your gut that you can't get rid of 

No one heard your screams when you were nine 

When bad dreams filled your summertime 

[Chorus] 

So you don't always show your sweet side 

You don't always show your sweet side 

You don't always show your sweet side 

You don't always show your sweet side

You're tough as steel and you keep your chin up 

You don't ever feel like you're good enough 

You've had the blues ever since you were six 

Your little tennis shoes and your pick-up sticks 

You were screamed at and kicked over and over 

Now you always feel sick and you can't keep a lover 

Every Christmas there were presents to unwrap 

But the things you witnessed when you were five and a half 

[Chorus] 

Someone deserted you, the damage is done 

Now you don't deserve to be loved by no one 

Hands that would feed you when you were two 

Were the same hands that beat you black and blue 

You get defensive at every turn 

You're overly sensitive and overly concerned 

Few precious memories, no lullabies 

Hollowed out centuries of lies 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

I've seen you in the kitchen cookin' me supper 

I listened to you bitchin' and I watched you suffer 

I still love you baby 'cause I know you 

Don't mean to do the cruel things you do 

I've seen you sewin' buttons on your shirt 

I've seen you throwin' up when your stomach hurt 

I stick by you baby, through thick and thin 

No matter what kind of shape you're in 

'Cause I've seen your sweet side 

I've seen your sweet side 

I've seen your sweet side baby
