Damn You

Ah, frustration!

This is one of the most requested songs I've written, and the one I'd most like to see being played on jukeboxes in smoky bars

It can be found on the Kelly Kessler and the Wichita Shut-Ins EP Life Of Regret (2002) with Lawrence Peters singing the lead.

Damn you, you've done it again
Broken my heart, 'bout done me in
Damn you, I'll swallow my pride
Come knock on your door 
Just like before
Damn you again

I was a fool to love you
And it takes one to love one they say
And yes these tears are bitter I'm crying
And no they won't go away
And yes I was asking for trouble
But you dish out more than your share
So I'll hang around till you just bring me down
So far I no longer care


Yes I should have known better
And no I just couldn't see
There was no way to tell
We would both go through hell
Long before you got through with me
And no I didn't know what I wanted
And yes I thought it was you
But you want the world on a silver platter
And you want my head on there too

And damn me for hoping and dreaming
And for walking this road of regret
And damn me for learning things always the hard way
And for not being over you yet
