The lamp is broken on the mantle
My mind is blown and I'm turnin' away
It's getting more than I can handle
It's getting more than I can say
I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
You were always dissapointed in me
Guess I could never do nothing right
Guess I could never do nothing right
And I work hard to make a living
To make the good-life dream come true
But you wanted more than I was giving
I guess that's more than I can do
(Chorus)
I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
You were always dissapointed in me
Guess I could never do nothing right
Guess I could never do nothing right
You cut my heart like the cards on the table
Seemed like fun for you to keep playin' on
Well, I let you in as long as I was able
Now all your games have done been run
(Chorus)
I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
You were always dissapointed in me
Guess I could never do nothing right in your eyes
Guess I could never do nothing right
