It' Ain't For You Lyrics - Badlees

(Alexander) 

Hush now baby, can't you see 

This cross I bear, it ain't for me 

I do my job, it's all I have 

To give you things I never had 

I had my chance in '63 

To start my own small company 

That's over now, I know it's true 

For me babe, it ain't for you 

Listen to the things I say 

Don't run and hide, don't turn away 

Ain't no one knows what you should do 

Boy, it's too late for me 

It ain't for you 

Son I see you're going far 

Out of college, brand new car 

Your business is doing well 

Your mom and I, we're proud as hell 

But remember everything I said 

He who hesitates is dead 

And a simple man with honest means 

Is better than a thousand thieves 

Listen to the things I say 

Don't run and hide, don't turn away 

Ain't no one knows what you should do 

Boy, it's too late for me 

It ain't for you 

Hello dad, I know it's late 

There's something that just couldn't wait 

I'm working seven days a week 

I need some time for family 

There's too much work for just one man 

So now I'm looking to expand 

I did the things you said to do 

And now 'm coming back for you 

Listen to the things I say 

Don't run and hide, don't turn away 

Ain't no one knows what you should do 

Boy, it's too late for me 

It ain't for you
