Sitar 22,214 Posted October 13, 2012 Jerry says that anytime I think I have a good idea That I should do the opposite of whatever it is I feel That's because I have a bad mind And I have gold in my veins But he said I got the purest heart That he's ever seen What God give me a brain for If he won't help me use it? What God give me a plan for If he won't help me do it? You're gonna love me I'm gonna make you You're gonna love me I'm gonna make you I can tell that you're the type to never trust a beauty queen But I was never voted for nothing in high school Never meant anything to anybody Never ever gave myself away But even when I'm funny You think I'm acting so I say What God give me a brain for If he won't let me use it? What God give me a plan for? He never helps me do it You're gonna love me I'm gonna have to make you You're gonna love me I'm gonna make you You say that you don't want to be hypnotized But baby, I, I don't wanna hypnotize you There's nothing from you that I wanna take I just wanna be like you Maybe love you just a little bit Please Jim, I'mma dedicate this whole album to you You told me to get my way, that's exactly what I'm gonna do I'm gonna strike out, right now I'm striking out right now with this song But I can't help myself I can't do right for long You know that What God give me a brain for? He knows that I can't use it I don't know why he'd give me a plan for He never lets me do it But you're gonna love me I'm gonna make you You're gonna love me I'm gonna make you 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Magic 21 Posted January 19, 2017 I wonder what album she dedicated to Jim :') It sounds like it could be on Sirens (or Young Like Me/From The End), but lyrics seem to be more Lizzy-like than May 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherrybaby 1,398 Posted January 19, 2017 It sounds like it could be on Sirens (or Young Like Me/From The End), but lyrics seem to be more Lizzy-like than May yeah, that's what i thought too, it may be even a demo who knows 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazySister 2,239 Posted March 15, 2017 This song is pure magic, I love it so much! There is such a raw feeling in it that I'm always whenever I hear this gem. Truly one of her best! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flowerbomb 65,594 Posted March 15, 2017 Honestly, I hope she puts this on the new album but re vamps it. One of my all time favorite demo/acoustic songs 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annedauphine 35,930 Posted March 15, 2017 i wonder if she ever finished it ): This is interesting to me, what makes you think it's not finished? I hear a lot of people on this site calling the acoustic songs demos or unfinished and I listen to a lot of low-fi folk and stuff like that and the songs seem perfectly finished to me. I'm not specifically pointing at you btw, I'm just surprised. To me YGLM is untouchable. A more produced, polished version would be interesting to say the least but nothing will ever top the rawness of this, how unbelievably true it is, the simplicity makes the lyric and melody so bare boned and it's what makes me love it above everything. Since it's been bumped I'm saying it again and until after I die - it's still the best thing ever made 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
