All I Asked Of You

All I Asked Of You - Steve Forbert

Well I hear you talk and I hear you tell it

Well I always get what the hell I want

But we disagree once again my darling

'Cause it's clear to me that I usually don't

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right

Right right

I was at that house where the one armed man lived

What I saw up there was some disrepair

If I saw your heart after all weve been through

Would it look to be

Much the same in there

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right

Right right

The way your sword tailed cat left the porch and showed me

What a rocking chair and a kid can do

I'll be on my way

When your clock strikes morning

Down the break of day on the 5:02

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right

Right right

This is not the way

It should be my darling

You should be my wife

I should work all day

You should rest your mind there in bed beside me

When I get back home off the vast highway

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right

Right

All I asked of you was a chance to make it right

Right right
