Bamboo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold blood
She said call it what you want
She got her fists out
Now that she's bored of making love
Undone
I hear her calling as I come
But I ain't got no lord
No hope in hell could call me out

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're tired of taking time off my hands
But I can't help hoping you'll still wait on my bed

[Chorus]
Oh you, stuck to me like glue
My heart sees you around the room
How do you do the things you do?
Take my heart; I don't need it

[Verse 2]
I'm tired, I let you put me in my place
Lately I stay by the line
Just to be standing in your way

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're tired of taking time off my hands
But I can't help hoping you'll still wait on my bed
[Chorus]
Oh you, stuck to me like glue
My heart sees you around the room
How do you do the things you do?
Oh girl, you break me like bamboo
You hit me like I want you to
So far so good so bad so cruel
How do you do the things you do?
Take my heart; I don't need it

[Post-Chorus]
Take my heart; I don't need it
Take my heart; I don't need it
Take my heart; I don't need it
Take my heart; I don't need it

[Chorus]
Oh you, stuck to me like glue
My heart sees you around the room
How do you do the things you do?
Oh girl, you break me like bamboo
You hit me like I want you to
So far so good so bad so cruel
How do you do the things you do?
Take my heart I don't need it
[Post-Chorus]
Take my heart; I don't need it
Take my heart; I don't need it
Take my heart; I don't need it
Take my heart; I don't need it

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
