Walking On Eggshells

Walking On Eggshells
words & music by Liz Mandville Greeson
Verse 1
Walking on eggshells trying to understand
What you’ve done wrong what’s the matter with this man
He don’t like your family & he don’t like your friends
He don’t like your attitude, he’s goin to talk to you by hand

chorus
But that’s not love But that’s not love
There’s a name for what you got goin on
But that’s not love
Verse 2
If he did it to his brother it would be assault
But honey when he beats on you you think that it’s your fault
He never hits you where it shows you cover it so well
& you’re so isolated it’s like he’s locked you up in hell
repeat chorus
Bridge
somethings got to change somethings got to give
please get yourself out this aint no way to live
you deserve better than the back of some man’s hand
sister, I try to understand but that’s not love
Verse 3
You say you’re staying for the children & that it’s not so bad
& if you’re extra careful maybe you won’t make him mad
but your babies are a witness to the way you live your life
would you wish this on your daughter You want your son to beat his wife
repeat chorus
