Painkiller Songtext
von Eric Roberson

Met her through a friend
I cannot pretend
That the lovely girl I just saw
Wasn′t everything that I wanted and more
I walked through her door

Right into her arms that night and those that followed
Some nights she was sad
But I was so glad
That she wanted me to kiss her tears away
Hey, but now it only seems
That I'm only seen
As a romantic replacement for her past
Oh

Painkiller (Painkiller)
That′s all I am (That's all I am)
Though I thought I was her man (Thought I was her man)
I'm just used
Just to wipe her tears away


Guess I′m her Tylenol
Only time she calls
Is when her nights are cold
And her heart is feeling low
Last guy must′ve had his way
'Cause to this day
He seems to be what occupies her mind
And I can′t even try
To sit here and lie

And act just like I'm cool
Being played just like a fool
But I just can′t say no

I gotta go, gotta go
Off unto her place to touch her lips again
Even though, oh

Painkiller (Painkiller, y'all)
That′s all I am (That's all I am)
Though I thought I was her man (Thought I was her man)
I'm just used
Just to wipe her tears away
Until another day comes along, y′all
Painkiller (Painkiller)

That′s all I am (That's all I am)
Though I thought I was her man (Thought I was her man)
I′m just used
Just to take her pain away


From the other side
All of my boys
Seem to think
I got it made
But they don't know
How I feel inside
Oh, for this girl
Maybe then they′ll see
It does not feel good to be a

Painkiller (Painkiller)
That's all I am (That′s all I am)
Though I thought I was her man (Thought I was her man)
I'm just used

Just to take her pain away

To take her pain, to take her pain away
Painkiller (Painkiller, y'all)
That′s all I am (That′s all I am)
Though I thought I was her man (Thought I was her man)
I'm just used
Just to wipe her tears away

To wipe her tears away
Painkiller
That′s all I am
Though I thought I was her man
