Roger Creager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night it's the same old thing
Me and my buddies running around
We couldn't turn the good times down
I never thought I'd be the first to leave
The boys shake their heads in disbelief
But for you I do
I have learned that you deserve
A much better man than I could ever be
I never thought I'd ever change
I never had one thing to prove
But for you I do.
I'm used to saying what I want to say
I hope that you don't mind that I'm that way
Around the edges I'm a little rough
Still trying to figure out love
Only really ever thought of me
A family wasn't something that I'd dream
But with you I do
Anything and everything to keep you loving me
I have learned that you deserve
A much better man than I could ever be
I never thought I'd ever change
I never had one thing to prove
But for you I do.
I'd do anything and everything to keep you loving me
I have learned that you deserve
A much better man than I could ever be
I never thought I'd ever change
I never had one thing to prove
But for you I do.
I do.
