The Rabbit Never Gets the Carrot, Part Two

I didn't know what age you were supposed to be
When I saw you bathing in the stream
I wanted to protect you so you wouldn't come to harm
I wanted to take you and hold you in my arms

Tell me why the rabbit never gets the carrot
When he works hard
Oh yeah, he works hard

I thought I could win you if I played a pretty song
I used to believe in music 'til you proved me wrong
You ran away from me back to the place where you'd come from
And your father took a shot at me with his gun

So tell me why the rabbit never gets the carrot
When he works hard
Oh, he works hard

Tell me why the rabbit never gets the carrot
When he works hard
He works so hard

So tell me why the rabbit never gets the carrot
When he works hard
Oh, he works hard

So tell me why the rabbit never gets the carrot
He works hard
He works so hard
