Since you been got in the big city Well, you been startin' treatin' me wrong Your mama and your daddy done told me, baby Not to bring you to the South And the bright lights knocked you out I'm gonna send you back to Walker You had nothin' when I met you,

I won't show I'm vulnerable I won't give in first I will hold out with my love I will not be hurt I'm gonna love myself More than anyone else I'm gonna treat me right I'm gonna make you say

And it ain't gonna change Living with the aftershock Right now, honey I'm living with the aftershock I don't care about the way that ya treated me And I ain't crying 'bout the love I'm paying for No, I ain't bitching 'bout the things You putting down
