She Don't Have to Be Good to Me Lyrics

She don't have to be good to me
'Cos I don't deserve to be loved
I say that in all honesty
'Cos I don't deserve to be loved
Once this heart was so clean
That I swear it would glimmer in the morning sun
And I never dreamed it would ever hide its face away

Now I ran through the town
And around
But I don't deserve to be loved

As the closed bars, the lips and the scars
'Cos they know I don't deserve to be loved
I once stood in this town with my pants on the ground
And they cheered for me
Those old girls and their scars
And their kids in the yard
Where I ran and ran

She don't have to be good to me
She knows now that I don't deserve to be loved
And I wait like a dog in the rain
For her to call my name
I won't be angry or sad that she left me waiting here for so long
For so many days I'd made I'd left hanging in the air

Those delicious smells that waft down from the town have no mystery
Those dark alleyways they hold no fascination anymore
The grass isn't greener I know now that it's just a different hue
A trick of the light and the greens that conspire to deceive

She don't have to be good to me
She knows now that I don't deserve to be loved
And when the night falls I will look at the door and dream of the stars
