H) Don't Paint Me Ugly

Don't wanna be the darkness in your dreams.
A shadow in the corner of your nightmares babe.
Don't wanna feel your skin recoil from mine don't hurt me
Don't paint me ugly darlin` I can do that by myself.

Walk like Jesus on the water.
Walk on my pain and find the beauty on the other side
Don't close your eyes to love me don't despise me
Don't paint me ugly baby, I can do that by myself.

I know, oh baby I know I ain't no rose.
But you're my man and you can make me what I want to be
You can paint me like a dying head of broccoli
Don't paint me ugly darlin` I can do that by myself

Or you can soften off my edges fool the senses
Transform me into a bouquet of purple velvet blooms
Big brush strokes colour-wash me in a black old thundercloud
Don't paint me ugly baby I can do that by myself.

I see it in the sad eyes of old lovers
'She turned to rust and let her lovely body go to seed'
I gave my curves and softness to the seasons
Don't paint me ugly darlin` I can do that by myself.

Don't wanna lurk beside you like a cancer
Don't want to see you turn away or walk down darkened streets.
I want to walk beside you in the sunshine
Don't paint me ugly baby I can do that my myself.

Don't paint me ugly baby, please don't ever do that to me.
