I don't ask that every day be sunny
I don't ask that every Friday
Nor do I ask you that you come back begging forgiveness
If you cry with dry eyes
Oh, babe, it hurts me so much
That you left without saying where
I know that I haven't been a saint
But I can fix it, babe
Not only by bread does man live
And I don't live on excuses
Only from mistakes do you learn
And today I know that my heart is yours
You'd better keep all that to yourself
Try that bone on another dog and we say goodbye
I can't ask winter to forgive a rosebush
I can't ask elms to give pears
I can't ask the eternal from a mere mortal
Or go throwing thousands of pearls to the pigs
Oh, babe, it hurts me so much
That you no longer believe in my promises
I know that I haven't been a saint
But I can fix it, babe
Not only by bread does man live
And I don't live on excuses
Only from mistakes do you learn
And today I know that my heart is yours
You'd better keep all that to yourself
Try that bone on another dog and we say goodbye
I'm just a repentant man
I know that I haven't been a saint
And it's that I'm not made of cardboard
Not only by bread does man live
And I don't live on excuses
Only from mistakes do you learn
And today I know that my heart is yours
Oh, everything I've done for you
It was torture to lose you
And it hurts me so much that it's like this
Keep crying for forgiveness
