Lyrics

AND DARLING, HAVE I NOT DONE THIS WELL? (STEVE DAFOE 2006)
(COPYRIGHTED)


CHORUS:

E B C D E
AND DARLING, WHY HAVE I NOT DONE THIS WELL?
AND GIRL....HOW DID I CREATE ALL THIS HELL?

YOU KNOW THAT I GAVE IT EVERYTHING I GOT

E B C D E
SO GIRL......YOU BETTER KNOW I LOVE YOU ALOT
SO GIRL......YOU BETTER KNOW I LOVE YOU ALOT


VERSE 1:

HERE WE GO WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF THE BLUES
AT THE DOOR....IT'S JUST A SUITCASE AND YOU
BUT I SEE IT IN YOUR EYES...
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH OF ME.
I TRY TO TALK BUT YOU JUST WALK
AND I JUST DON'T SEEM TO BE
THE PERSON AT THE CENTER OF YOUR WORLD ANYMORE
TO:........................CHORUS

VERSE 2:

AND HERE I GO, ALL ALONE BY MYSELF
ON THE TABLE...A FEW BEER AND RYE
BUT I SEE IN MY MIND
THAT I DID REALL, REALLY TRY
I GAVE IT ALL...BUT YOU JUST STALLED
SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY
THAT YOU DON'T WANT ME IN YOUR WORLD ANYMORE
TO:........................CHORUS

Nice accoustic guitar backing.
I liked Don Williams and I like this similarly! Your singer I think is younger though!
Relaxed Lyric Story. A popular theme!
The chorus suited the song and I can imagine a listener waiting for it to come around again!
A good all round Country Number you would expect on an album!

This song made for a nice listen. Heartfelt, instrumentation and arrangement was very good. I enjoyed listening. There is a opportunity listed for a heartfelt song. I hope you've submitted this one! Great job!

This guy's got a great country voice, crystal clear with that country-honesty you want to hear in a singer in this genre. This sounds like a basic guitar/voice demo, but it does the job of getting the melody and lyric across...a good start. There are some good word pictures here. The suitcase, the beans and rice.

Catchy and sweet. A nice classic-country sound.

it's a pleasant and enjoyable traditional country song...
