Couldn’t Do Nothin’ Right

[Verse 1]
The lamp is broken on the mantle
My mind is blown and I'm turning away
It's gettin' more than I can handle
It's gettin' more than I can say

[Chorus]
I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
'Cause you were always disappointed in me
Guess I could never do nothin' right
Guess I could never do nothin' right

[Verse 2]
Well 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 disappointed in me
Guess I could never do nothin' right
I guess I could never do nothin' right

[Verse 3]
You cut my heart like the cards on the table
It seemed like fun for you to keep playin' on
Well, I let you in as long as I was able
Now your games have done been run

[Chorus]
And I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
'Cause you were always disappointed in me
Guess I could never do nothin' right in your eyes
Guess I could never do nothin' right
