You could only be who you are
Ignore me, I've no influence
A shame, but there is
No hope for me
The first or the second time?
Who gives a damn?
Not me!
Who has ever listened to me
If I only could stop you before
You make trouble for me once more
And I would be the happy man
If you only would heed my advice
Have respect for the good and wise
And I would be the happy man
I have never been very far
So despite you
I've involved us in
The very depth of sin
And it moves me
Oh Lord!
She has a hold on me
And I need to feel that I'm free
If I only could stop you before
You make trouble for me once more
And I would be the happy man
If you only would heed my advice
Have respect for the good and wise
And I would be the happy man
I won't try to hide
The all embracing fear
That I'm displaying here
If I only could stop you before
You make trouble for me once more
And I would be the happy man
If you only would heed my advice
Have respect for the good and wise
And I would be the happy man
I would be
I would be
I would be
I would be
