The Dirtbombs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock, baby (your love, your love)
I said your love
(Your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock, baby (your love, your love)
You're always tryin to get the best of me
Tryin to make me feel small
Didn't take me long to figure out
You really didn't love me at all
That's why your love (your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock (your love, your love)
I said your love
(Your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock(your love, your love)
You're always tryin to make a fool of me
Tryin to waste my time
Bat your eyes at every guy in town
Just to drive me out of my mind
That's why your love (your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock (your love, your love)
I said your love
(Your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock(your love, your love)
You're always tryin to take my energy
Tryin to sell my soul
I've got to put you down and worry not
You're gettin out of control
Well your love (your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock (your love, your love)
I said your love
(Your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock(your love, your love)
Had to know I'd fool around with you
It's really plain to see
You've got the heart of a mammoth
That's not news to me
That's why your love (your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock, woman (your love, your love)
I said your love
(Your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock(your love, your love)
Your love
(Your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock(your love, your love)
I said your love
(Your love, your love)
Belongs under a rock (your love, your love)
