You Asked Me To
Ray Dylan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My old common labour shoes
I turned and walked away from you
Just because you asked me to
Likened to no other feeling
Simple love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Let the world call me a fool
If things are right for me and you
That's all that matters that I'll do
Anything you ask me to
Knowing how much I love you
After all that we've been through
I turned and walked away from you
Just because you asked me to
Let the world call me a fool
If things are right for me and you
That's all that matters that I'll do
Anything you ask me to
Let the world call me a fool
If things are right for me and you
That's all that matters that I'll do
Anything you ask me to
Knowing how much I love you
After all that we've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to
Let the world call me a fool
If things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to
Let the world call me a fool
If things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to
