Can’t Stand Me Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty] An ending fitting for the start You twisted and tore our love apart Your light fingers threw the dart That shattered the lamp and into darkness cast us No, you've got it the wrong way round You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown Cornered the boy kicked out at the world The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder now [Pre-Chorus: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty, both] If you want to try, if you want to try There's no worse you could do, uh, oh, oh I know you lie, I know you lie I'm still in love with you, uh, oh, oh Can't take me anywhere, I'd take you anywhere You can't take me anywhere, well, I can't take you anywhere I'll take you anywhere you wanna go [Chorus: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty] Oh, you can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now No, you can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now You can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now No, you can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now [Verse 2: Pete Doherty] Have we enough to keep it together? Or do we just keep on pretending And hope our luck is never ending now? You tried to pull the wool I wasn't feeling too clever And you take all that they're lending Until you needed mending now [Pre-Chorus: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty, both] If you want to try, if you want to try There's no worse you could do, uh, oh, oh I know you lie, all you do is make me cry All those words they ain't true Can't take me anywhere, I can't take you anywhere Can't take me anywhere, I won't take you anywhere I'll take you anywhere you want to go [Chorus: Carl Barat & Pete Doherty] Oh, you can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now No, you can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now You can't stand me now, no, you can't stand me now No, you can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now You can't stand me, no, you can't stand me now You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now No, you can't stand me now [Outro: Pete Doherty & Carl Barat] No, oh, oh (You can't stand me now) Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
