Steve Earle - Don't Take It Too Bad lyrics

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
