Bob Lind - You Should Have Seen It lyrics
[Bob Lind - You Should Have Seen It lyrics]
I told you as I left you
You would hate me someday
You refused to believe me and
Begged me to stay
Now that your illusions of my
Saintliness are dead and gone
Now that I have fallen from the
Pedestal you put me on
You're suddenly aware that I have
Weaknesses like any other man
My humanness astounds you as you
Realize how real I am
But now it's lying crooked in your mind
Doll, you should have seen it all the time
Believe me, it tore at me watching you cry
With no way to say that you set me too high
I should have found a way to make
You see that I wasn't always right
Someone should have shown you all the
Colors between black and white
I am not perfection, doll
But neither am I always wrong
Now you tell your friends I disappointed
You and led you along
But, you expected more than you could find
Doll, you should have seen it all the time
A man must be measured by things that he does
But, you looked for me higher up than I was
Now that you can see that both my
Feet are standing on the ground
You're telling everybody that you hate me
'cause I let you down
I wish that you could know that I'm
Not angry I am only sad
To see someone so sensitive making
Herself look so bad but the foolish have no
Patience with the blind
Doll, you should have seen it all the time
Doll, you should have seen it all the time
You would hate me someday
You refused to believe me and
Begged me to stay
Now that your illusions of my
Saintliness are dead and gone
Now that I have fallen from the
Pedestal you put me on
You're suddenly aware that I have
Weaknesses like any other man
My humanness astounds you as you
Realize how real I am
But now it's lying crooked in your mind
Doll, you should have seen it all the time
Believe me, it tore at me watching you cry
With no way to say that you set me too high
I should have found a way to make
You see that I wasn't always right
Someone should have shown you all the
Colors between black and white
I am not perfection, doll
But neither am I always wrong
Now you tell your friends I disappointed
You and led you along
But, you expected more than you could find
Doll, you should have seen it all the time
A man must be measured by things that he does
But, you looked for me higher up than I was
Now that you can see that both my
Feet are standing on the ground
You're telling everybody that you hate me
'cause I let you down
I wish that you could know that I'm
Not angry I am only sad
To see someone so sensitive making
Herself look so bad but the foolish have no
Patience with the blind
Doll, you should have seen it all the time
Doll, you should have seen it all the time
