Lyrics
Armadillo
Man, how he hurt me,
Took me for a ride
Didn't think he'd desert me,
Didn't know that he lied
Now, I'm feeling empty, so empty inside
Why, why, why?
He promised me things
But, he didn't come through
He told me he loved me
I believed it was true
Now, I'm feeling bruised
I'm feeling black and blue
Blue, blue, blue
I want to roll up in a ball like an Armadillo
Let go of control, just like a Weeping Willow
I want to lay my head down on my pillow
And cry, cry
I want to cry
I want to go back home and be my Daddy's little girl
Climb high up in a tree like a frightened Squirrel
I want to forget about the rest of the world
And hide, hide, hide
I feel like I'm on a big
Slippery slide
I can't picture my future
Though, Lord knows,
I've tried
I just want to crawl into a hole and hide
Hide, hide
I want to roll up in a ball like an Armadillo
Let go of control, just like Weeping Willow
I want to lay my head down on my pillow
And cry, cry, cry
Ooh, I want to cry
I want to go back home and be my Daddy's little girl
Climb high up in a tree like a frightened Squirrel
I want to forget about the rest of the world
And hide, hide, hide
I want to roll up in a ball like an Armadillo
Let go of control, just like Weeping Willow
I want to lay my head down on my pillow
And cry, cry
I want to roll up in a ball like an Armadillo...
