Well did I say something wrong? Did I say something wrong?
Sometimes I contradict myself or come on much too strong
If you catch me mouthing off about something I don't know
Just tap me on the shoulder, say my friend it's time to go
I'll thank you in the morning for the kindness that you give
I don't take well to warning, it's for friends like you I live
The kind ones who watch over and quickly do forgive
A lovelorn ancient rover whose heart leaks like a sieve
ย
Well did I say sorry for speaking out of turn?
I got a witness on the stand says I've been known to learn
Those who run for cover when I stumble through the door
Once they know me better find me kindly to the core
They thank me in the morning for the way I watched their back
When without any warning they stood open to attack
We all learn to watch over our own imperfect crew
Any lovelorn rover lad would do the same for you
ย
When the deck is cut and dealt, all cards on the table
Some of us do what we can, the rest do what we're able
What's the difference you may ask between one and the other?
One is how you treat a friend, one's how you treat a brother
I'll thank you in the morning for the kindness that you give
I don't take well to warning, it's for friends like you I live
The kind ones who watch over and quickly do forgive
A lovelorn ancient rover whose heart leaks like a sieve
The kind ones who watch over and quickly do forgive
A lovelorn ancient rover whose heart leaks like a sieve
