But that's alright
You stood by me baby
When I didn't think we'd ever see daylight
Rolled out of california
Like a couple of thieves
Now we're rolling in clover babe
We didn't read this in no tea leaves
My fate was sealed before I met you darling
I was halfway down a shallow grave
So little room for you to catch me falling
Still you took the little love I saved
Chorus:
I wanna thank you girl
I wanna thank you girl
I wanna thank you girl
I wanna thank you girl
It's a matter of opinion
But I think you're fine
As a matter of fact babe
They couldn't hold a candle to your kind
If all men are equal
This must be against the law
'cause I can't help but feeling
I'm one up on my brother when night falls
'cause in your arms I get the real love story
No fairy tale from somewhere back in time
In the dawn you're like a morning glory
Opening up for my sweet light to shine
Chorus
You're a little on the thin side But that's alright You stood by me baby When I didn't think we'd ever see daylight Rolled out of california Like a couple of thieves Now we're rolling in clover babe We didn't read this in no tea leaves My fate was sealed before I met you darling I was halfway down a shallow grave So little room for you to catch me falling Still you took the little love I saved Chorus: I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl I wanna thank you girl It's a matter of opinion But I think you're fine As a matter of fact babe They couldn't hold a candle to your kind If all men are equal This must be against the law 'cause I can't help but feeling I'm one up on my brother when night falls 'cause in your arms I get the real love story No fairy tale from somewhere back in time In the dawn you're like a morning glory Opening up for my sweet light to shine Chorus Explain Request ×
