Sliver (Live In Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1991) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When Mom and Dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed
Said, "Please, don't go"

[Chorus]
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home

[Verse 2]
Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meat too good

[Chorus]
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
[Verse 3]
She said, "Why don't you stop your crying?
Go outside and ride your bike"
That's what I did
I killed my toe

[Chorus]
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
I wanna be alone

[Verse 4]
After dinner, I had ice cream
I fell asleep and watched TV
I woke up in my mother's arms

[Chorus]
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
Grandma, take me home
I wanna be alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
