The Badlees - It' Ain't For You lyrics

rate me

(Alexander)

Hush now baby, can't you see

This cross I bear, it ain't for me

I do my job, it's all I have

To give you things I never had

I had my chance in '63

To start my own small company

That's over now, I know it's true

For me babe, it ain't for you

Listen to the things I say

Don't run and hide, don't turn away

Ain't no one knows what you should do

Boy, it's too late for me

It ain't for you

Son I see you're going far

Out of college, brand new car

Your business is doing well

Your mom and I, we're proud as hell

But remember everything I said

He who hesitates is dead

And a simple man with honest means

Is better than a thousand thieves

Listen to the things I say

Don't run and hide, don't turn away

Ain't no one knows what you should do

Boy, it's too late for me

It ain't for you

Hello dad, I know it's late

There's something that just couldn't wait

I'm working seven days a week

I need some time for family

There's too much work for just one man

So now I'm looking to expand

I did the things you said to do

And now ‘m coming back for you

Listen to the things I say

Don't run and hide, don't turn away

Ain't no one knows what you should do

Boy, it's too late for me

It ain't for you
