Gladys Knight & The Pips — My Bed Of Thorns

[Verse 1] Make your bed hard And you'll have to lay down in it A love that takes years to find Can be lost in just one minute [Pre-Chorus] Since I hurt you and you've gone I regret the day I was born [Chorus] And now I lay me down to cry On my bed of thorns On my bed of thorns [Verse 2] I took you for granted Thought I had you under my thorn Mistook kindness for weakness How could I have been so dumb [Pre-Chorus] To think that you would stay Though I filled your life with scorn [Chorus] Now I lay me down to cry On my bed of thorns On my bed of thorns [Bridge] I lied to you so much I had a million defences But now that you've gone And I've come to my senses I know that in love you tell the truth Or pay the consequences [Verse 3] I've misused love And now I'm all alone It's my fault we broke up Now I'm reaping what I sow [Pre-Chorus] My eyes are filled with tears My heart and soul are torn [Chorus] And now I lay me down to cry On my bed of thorns On my bed of thorns [Outro] On my bed of thorns On my bed of thorns
