Charles Douglas - The Rabbit Never Gets the Carrot, Part Two lyrics

I didn't know what age you
Were supposed to be
When I saw you bathing in the stream
I wanted to protect you so
You wouldn't come to harm
I wanted to take you and hold you in my arms

Tell me why the rabbit never gets the carrot
When he works hard oh yeah, he works hard

I thought I could win you if
I played a pretty song
I used to believe in music
'til you proved me wrong
You ran away from me back to
The place where you'd come from
And your father took a shot
At me with his gun

So tell me why the rabbit
Never gets the carrot when he works hard
Oh, he works hard

Tell me why the rabbit never gets the carrot
When he works hard he works so hard

So tell me why the rabbit
Never gets the carrot when he works hard
Oh, he works hard

So tell me why the rabbit
Never gets the carrot he works hard
He works so hard
