You Don't Say

When it’s laid before me
Down that body
Down that road.
And all that may befall me
And whether you were mine alone.
You don’t say. You don’t say.
All that sweetness hummin'
A single word I have not earned
'Cause souls like yours are something
Men like me don’t deserve.
'Cause I ain’t good at loving.
Though I’ll tell you something,
It ain’t that hard.
And there must be someone out there,
Who calls you theirs, love
Who’ll take your arm.
You don’t say. You don’t say.
You don’t say. You don’t say.
Why don’t you ask your brother to give you away?
You don’t say. You don’t say.
When it’s laid before me
Down that body
Down that road
And all that’s out there waiting
And whether you were mine alone.
You don’t say. You don’t say.
You don’t say. You don’t say.
Why don’t you ask your brother to give you away?
You don’t say. You don’t say.
