"Couldn't Do Nothin' Right" lyrics

The lamp is broken on the mantle
I'm getting' tired and I'm going away
It's getting more than I can handle
There's nothing left for me to say

I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
You were always so disappointed in me
I couldn't never do nothing right

You cut my heart like cards on the table
You know the game you know the odds
I'd let you win if I were able
But how can you win if it's love you've lost

I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
You were always so disappointed in me
I couldn't never do nothing right

I worked hard to make a living
To make a living right for you
You wanted more than I was giving
That was more than I could lose

I couldn't stay here if I wanted
I couldn't stay here if I tried
You were always so disappointed in me
I couldn't never do nothing right

You were right babe
I couldn't never do nothing right anytime yeah
I couldn't never do nothing right
I couldn't never do nothing right
