Your Good Fortune

Lyrics

Why
 Did you spend
 Your good fortune
 On me?
 Why
 Did you spend
 Your good fortune
 On me?
 Did you leave me to suffer
 Just to shuffle and breathe?
 Did you pick through the litters
 And just settle on me?
 Am I just a play thing (I just a play thing)
 For the wind like a leaf? (Wind like a leaf)
 Or did you leave me exactly (leave me exactly)
 Where I need to be? (I need to be)
 Tell me why
 Did you spend
 Your good fortune
 On me?
 Why
 Did you spend
 Your good fortune
 On me?
 I can tell you of sorrow (tell you of sorrow)
 Of losing, of pain (losing, of pain)
 I can cry through the levee (cry through the levee)
 It would wash you away (wash you away)
 I can give you one reason (give you a reason)
 Two reasons or three (reason or three)
 I can tell you 'bout heartache (tell you 'bout heartache)
 Loneliness and grief (loneliness and grief)
 So why
 Did you spend
 Your good fortune
 On me?
 Oh, why
 Did you spend
 Your good fortune
 On me?
 I can tell you a story
 Tell it simple and plain
 Tell you life is a candle
 It flickers and I'm a flame
 So if I give you one reason (give you a reason)
 For me to say what I'm sayin' (say what I'm saying)
 I'll say that you are the answer (you are the answer)
 To my question every day (every day)
 Saying why
 Did you spend
 Your good fortune
 On me?
 Tell me why
 Did you spend
 Your great fortune
 On me?
 Why
 Did you spend
 Your glorious fortune
 On me?
 Oh, why
 Did you spend
 Your glorious fortune
 On me?
 On me
 (Why?)
 On
 On me
 (Why?)
 Ooh
 (Why?)
