He Turns Down Lyrics
Cat Power
Have you ever seen the face
You know the one Im talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know Im not supposed to say
Have you ever seen the face
You know the one Im talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know the one Im not supposed to say
Holding on for something have you ever held on
Holding on for someone
Feels like holding on too long
Have you ever held on
Its not me I am pretending
Im not saved he turned me down
He turns down
It is so nice to meet you
Whos gonna look at for you
Its not me, I am pretending
Im not saved he turned me down
He turns down
Have you ever seen the face
You know the one Im talking about
Have you ever been to that place
You know the one Im not supposed to say
Holding on for something
Have you ever held on
Holding on for someone
Feels like holding on too long
Have you ever held on
Its not me I am pretending
Im not saved he turned me down
He turns down
