Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now and then you catch a beating
When it was someone else's turn
Take the rap and watch
The package burn
A sunny day at the cafe
Waitin' on your wings to dry
Pianos come a-fallin' from the sky
[Verse 2]
Trials I've tried to fumble through
I take 'em in stride because of you
What I had comin', Lord only knows
[Verse 3]
I don't deserve you, darlin'
Don't know what I did so right
I don't deserve you by my side
[Verse 4]
All those times when the work's put in
Somethin' 'bout an honest day
Some vulture says they think you oughta stay
So, if I curse the universe
Or use the word unfair
Just remind me that you're always standin' there
[Verse 5]
Evil eyes that look right through
The pain that paid the Devil's due
They don't mean nothin' because I've learned, I've learned
[Verse 6]
I don't deserve you, darlin'
Don't know what I did so right
I don't deserve you by my side
[Verse 7]
All the trials I've tried to fumble through
I take 'em in stride because of you
What I had comin', Lord only knows
I know
[Verse 8]
That I don't deserve you, darlin'
Don't know what I did so right
I don't deserve you by my side
[Verse 9]
Yeah, I don't deserve you, darlin'
Don't know what I did so right
I don't deserve you by my side
