Can't Stand Me Now by The Libertines

An ending fitting for the start
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers through the dark
That shattered the lamp and into the 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

If you wanna try, if you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
I know you lie, I know you lie
I'm still in love with you

Can't take me anywhere, can't take you anywhere
Can't take me anywhere, can't take you anyway
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go

You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now

Have we enough to keep it together?
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending

You tried to pull the wool I wasn't feeling too clever
You took all that they're lending
Until you needed mending

If you wanna try, if you wanna try
there's no worse you could do
I know you lie, all you do is make me cry
All these words they ain't true

I can't take me anywhere, can't take you anywhere
Can't take me anywhere, can't take you anyway
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go

You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
You can't stand me now, you can't stand me now
