I don't want to be the crutch

One step away from down

I don't want to be the crutch

One step away from...



Man I feel like hell so come on over

Be a love machine and I could be your friend

Ain't no shame feel strong for one another

One step away from down

I could never be your crutch

I could break you down



I don't want to be the crutch

I don't want to be the crutch

I don't want to be the crutch

One st
