Every morning when I awake
I fall into the memory of the way it felt
To open my groggy eyes and realize
I was laying in your arms

It was just one night together,
We drank, and sang, and drove drunk
Down the road to the bar
Even though I'm under aged

In the bar we got some drinks
Watched a wrestling match on the television
I learned that night watching two people fight
Is far more entertaining than one would think

Still I cannot hold on to that night
I cannot grasp for anything such as that
To ever in my lifetime occur again
Even though it happens every time I awake
I need to shed you like a snake

As a snake sheds it's skin, and lets new flesh in
I need to let the man who loves me for real do his job
And kick you off of the employee list
You have nothing but anger behind a fist
You won't even use it
You never do

So let me be protected by the one who holds me
Every night, besides the exception
He loves me, and that is enough for me,
Although it will never be enough for you

But I am shedding you, and your opinions
They aren't my own, and they shan't affect me any longer
My man deserves better
My man deserves love and I know better than most
How to give it, cause I never got it myself

I'm shedding you,
Like a snake,
so when I awake,
I only think of his smile,
and I'll let him stay the while.
