"I Don't Know How You're Livin'" lyrics

"I Don't Know How You're Livin'"

I cared for you
Dared to do
What I was never prepared to do

I've talked you down
Driven you around
All but followed you underground

I've defended you
Commended you
I've seen it through to the end with you

I've supported you
Encouraged you
Comforted and consoled you

I don't know how you're livin'
I don't know where you are
And you may not be willing
To open up a door

And if you should ever wonder
You shouldn't have to ask
'Cause I know you know, brother
I've always got your back

I've paid for you
I've borrowed for you
I've planned all my tomorrows for you

I've believed in you
I've grieved with you
I've rolled up my sleeves for you

I've fed you
I clothed you
I loved you and stood up for you

I've sided with you
I cried for you
I put my needs aside for you

But I don't know how you're livin'
And I don't know where you are
And you may not be willing
To open up a door

And if you should ever wonder
Well you shouldn't have to ask
'Cause I know you know, brother
I've always got your back
I've always got your back
