I'm A Liability, Not Your Best Friend

I'm a liability, not your best friend/Little darling, hang with me, you'll probably come out dead/I'm liable to catch you in the crossfire/In the guns and lead/Loyalty is stupid when the world wants your best friend dead

Don't watch out for my best interests/I ain't looking out for yours/And please avoid sentimentality/It'll amount to nothing more/Than a few extra tears at my funeral/Or ask for mine at yours

I'm a liability, not your best friend/Little darling, hang with me, you'll probably come out dead/I'm liable to catch you in the crossfire/In the guns and lead/Loyalty is stupid when the world wants your best friend dead

Forget you ever met me/Forget we ever loved/You'll end up sacrificed/A poor, shot down dove/Put down the three red roses/I'll put down my gun/We'll both walk away from here/Without hurting anyone

I'm a liability, not your best friend/Little darling, hang with me, you'll probably come out dead/I'm liable to catch you in the crossfire/In the guns and lead/Loyalty is stupid when the world wants your best friend dead

Darling I'd love to hate you/Then it wouldn't be this way/We wouldn't be parting at heart-point/I wouldn't be hurting you this way/Remember, don't get sentimental/It'll take you down/Maybe you won't accept it now/When you're dead you'll come around
