All I Asked Of You Lyrics - Over With You - Steve Forbert

Well, I hear you talk and I hear you tell it 

Well, I always get what the hell I want 

But we disagree once again, my darling, 

'Cause it's clear to me that I usually don't. 

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right 

right...right 

I was at that house where the one armed man lived 

What I saw up there was some disrepair 

If I saw your heart after all weve been through 

would it look to be 

much the same in there? 

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right 

right...right 

The way your sword tailed cat left the porch and showed me 

what a rocking chair and a kid can do 

Ill be on my way 

when your clock strikes morning 

down the break of day on the 5:02. 

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right 

right...right 

This is not the way 

it should be, my darling 

you should be my wife 

I should work all day 

you should rest your mind there in bed beside me 

when I get back home off the vast highway 

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right 

right...right.
