You Keep Right On Loving Me

(album: It's Four In The Morning - 1972)

Putting on your makeup I can see the lines you're trying hard to hide
Lines that tell the story of your life with me that seemed to you good times
All I've been to you is a thorn to me you've been a rose
And you keep right on loving me but why you do I'll never know

Making yourself pretty for a man who hasn't made your life much fun
Never do you complain and if angels walk on earth then honey you'd be one
And if you've ever cried you've cried inside where it don't show
And you keep right on loving me but why you do I'll never know

I broke every promise not even the small ones could I keep
That's why I keep thinking that you'd be so much better off without me
And I know if I try to leave you'd even let me go
And you'd keep right on loving me and why you would I'll never know
