Don't You Take It Too Bad

(album: Guy Clark - 1978)

Well don't you take it too bad if you're feeling unloving
If you're feeling unfeeling if you're feeling alone
Don't take it too bad cause it ain't you to blame babe
Well it's some kind of game babe
Out of all of this living that we've got left to do

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 and the faces you've seen babe
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
And whisper sweet words in his ears about daydreams
And roses and playthings
And the sweetness of springtime and the sound of the rain
