lyrics

When I was just a young shit-kicker,
Breakin’ in my boots,
I was drunk and I was angry,
All the time.
Tryin’ to cover up that I was
Shakin’ in my boots,
I had to keep my dukes up,
Just to hide behind.
But there was a green-eyed girl
Named Mary Grace,
(Her little brother was
My best friend, Paul.)
She laughed right in my
Meanest face.
She wasn’t scared
At all.
Oh, lord. She broke me on down,
And made me feel so bad.
She made fun of every heartache
That I’d ever had,
And I got so mad
That I didn’t know
What to do.
She just grinned and said,
“There ain’t a damn thing
Wrong with you...
CHORUS:
Baby, you just ain’t been
Loved right.
You just ain’t been
Held tight enough.
You ain’t been
Rocked all night,
Until the morning light
Makes the bedroom bright
Quite enough.
Baby, you just ain’t been loved right.”
Baby, you just ain’t been loved right.
So the seasons wheel around
And now I’m here, with you.
And there’s a reason why
I’m singing you this song
We could sit here, and knock back
Another beer, or two,
And make believe that there ain’t
Nothing wrong.
I know, It seems like lovers
Always leave you,
And fate is
Always cruel,
And you’d have to be a fool
To play along.
So you waste another
Perfect evening
Grievin’ on your favorite stool,
When you and me could have
A good thing goin’ on...
CHORUS
I know you tremble
In your sleep, at night,
And you startle
To the human touch.
Can’t respect no one
that loves you,
Because you
Hate yourself
So much.
But, I swear,
If you ever get over
Your second thoughts,
You’re gonna wonder
Why you ever
Thought twice.
Lemme pass along
My favorite good advice...
CHORUS
