Steve Forbert - All I Asked Of You lyrics

Well, I hear you talk and I hear you tell it Well, I always get what the hell I want But we disagree once again, my darling 'Cause it's clear to me that I usually don't All I asked of you was a chance to make it right Right (right), right I was at that house where the one-armed man lived What I saw up there was some disrepair If I saw your heart, after all we've been through Would it look to be Much the same in there All I asked of you was a chance to make it right Right (right), right The way your sword tailed cat left the porch and showed me What a rocking chair and a kid can do I'll be on my way When your clock strikes morning Down the break of day on the five-oh-two All I asked of you was a chance to make it right Right (right), right This is not the way It should be, my darling You should be my wife I should work all day You should rest your mind there in bed beside me When I get back home off the vast highway All I asked of you was a chance to make it right Right (right) All I asked of you was a chance to make it right Right, right [Instrumental Outro]
