Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter

Traitor

(Ian Hunter)

Traitor... Traitor... Traitor... Traitor...

Traitor you don't know you're mind
It says Hi, you walk straight by
Missing person, you can't take
A look in your book cos it makes you shake

Traitor... Traitor... Traitor... Traitor...

Traitor you don't ever change
Same mistakes, again and again
You're so shallow, you try to get
Your feet in your mouth but they never get wet

Traitor... Traitor... Traitor... Traitor...

I gave you love
I gave you love
I gave you love
What's the matter, ain't that enough?
I gave you love
I gave you love
See you later, traitor

Traitor... Traitor... Traitor... Traitor...

You're so clever you can see
I've known all along you were hassling me
Tell those faces on your head
As far as I'm concerned, you're dead

Traitor... Traitor... Traitor... Traitor...

I gave you love
I gave you love
I gave you love
What's the matter honey, ain't that enough?
I gave you love
I gave you love
See you later, traitor

Traitor... Traitor...

She just hears what she wants to fill
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Destroys her brain, she's out of touch
(Just what do you do that's worth so much)
She had to run (Know what mean? You and your convenient dream)
Did she hurt? (You bet she hurt, she left me naked)
She just lost her shirt (Ain't no letter of revenge)
Every line has got to end
(You're just one woman I can't depend)
See you later traitor.
Traitor... Traitor...
(to fade)
