Steve Earle — Dont Take It Too Bad

Don't you take it too bad, if you're feeling unloving If you're feeling unfeeling, if you're feeling alone Don't you take it too bad, 'cause it ain't you to blame, babe It's only a game, man, and of all of this living that we got left to do And if you go searching for rhyme or for reason Then you won't have the time that it takes just for talking About the places you've been, babe, places you've seen, babe And how soft the time flies past your window at night And we just can't have that, girl, 'cause it's a sad, lonesome, cold world And a man needs a woman just to stand by his side Whisper sweet words in his ears about daydreams, roses, and playthings And the sweetness of springtime and the sound of the rain
