[Intro] |
|
Why did you spend your good fortune on me? |
|
Why did you spend your good fortune on me? |
|
[Verse 1] |
|
Did you leave me to suffer |
|
Just to shuffle and breathe |
|
Did you pick through the litters |
|
And just settled on me? |
|
Am I just play thing |
|
For the wind like a leaf? |
|
Or did you lead me exactly |
|
Where I need to be? |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Tell me, why did you spend your good fortune on me? |
|
Why did you spend your good fortune on me? |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
I can tell you of sorrow |
|
Of losing, of pain |
|
I can cry through the levee |
|
If it'd washed you away |
|
I can give you one reason |
|
Two reasons or three |
|
I can tell you 'bout heartache |
|
No [?] can grieve |
|
[Chorus] |
|
So why, did you spend your good fortune on me? |
|
Oh why, did you spend your good fortune on me? |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
I can tell you a story |
|
Tell it simple and plain |
|
Tell your life is a candle |
|
It flickers and I'm a flame |
|
So if I give you one reason |
|
For me to say what I'm saying |
|
I'd say that you are the answer |
|
To my question every day |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Saying why, did you spend your good fortune on me? |
|
Tell me why, did you spend your great fortune on me? |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Why, did you spend your good fortune on me? |
|
Oh why, did you spend your greatest fortune on me? |
|
[Outro] |
|
On me |
|
On |
|
On me |
|
Ooh |
