I Can’T Hardly Stand It Lyrics
The Cramps
Lyrics
Well, the sun's gone down
And you're uptown
And you're just out runnin' around
I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up
You say you're trough with me
You're settin' me free
You're just out with your used-to-be
I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up
Well, my spirit's low
I love (--miss--) you so
I stand alone and watch you go
I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up
Well, now that you are gone
And I'm alone
All I do is sit and moan
I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up
Baby, all tore up
Baby, all tore up
All tore up...
