All I Asked Of You

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
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 weve 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
The way your sword tailed cat left the porch and showed me
what a rocking chair and a kid can do
Ill be on my way
when your clock strikes morning
down the break of day on the 5:02.
All I asked of you was a chance to make it 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.
