Kenan Flannery - Cheap Wine and Foreign Men

Cheap Wine and Foreign Men

Running scared
You don’t want to hear that from me
Unaware
As you watch the sunset among the trees
You’re looking out your bedroom window
While you’re lying on your wooden floor

Why did he say that
Why did he say that
Why did he say that to me
I don’t know why
And neither does he
I guess he thought that you were fast asleep
He tells you things you want to hear
But as long as you say please

Don’t forget to finish with a thank you
He’ll always remember the end
Right before you
He doesn’t know your face
Doesn’t know your face
Doesn’t know your
Face
You’re just another girl
In your own man's world

So run away scared
Run away scared
Run away

Because you’re nothing
You’re nothing without me
He said
Every minute spent with you
Is a minute he’ll forget
You’re just another joke
At a table full of men
You’re just another girl
When he’s out there
Pissed again
That is not your home
Just a place for you to pretend
There is no more love
In this fortress you defend

And the walls are closing in
And it’s getting cold out my friend
So
Run away scared
Run away scared
Run away

Run away scared
Run away scared
Run away

Darling don’t you fear
I will always be right here
And if you need a friend
I’ll be with you till the end
Cause cheap wine and foreign men
Oh, what a shame to be alone again
Without a warm nice bed
Or a man to hold
Oh how your soul grows old

Cause it’s the joys
Of growing old
Alone
But you’re not on your own

Run away scared
Run away scared
Run away
