Lyrics
Ever lovin'
Words and Music by Steven (Sonney) Carter
All the times that I told you that I'd be working
but I'd be down at the bar just getting drunk
and all the times I come home all out of sorts
all I would I would think of was going down to buy a quart
And all the times that I had lied to you and thought I made it
I didn't know I'd shut the door and you would cry...
I'm a lying fool, yes I'm a lying fool but I remained your
ever loving lying clown
(instrumental)
(yes) I'm a lying fool, yes I'm a lying fool but I remain your
ever loving lying clown
And all of the times that I held you and said I love'd you
I didn't know that you were sensing that we were through
but yet you stayed by my side through all those years
through the girls and through the booze and all those tears...
and you remained a loyal and loving wife
but like a fool, I threw away my life...
I'm a lying fool, yes I'm a lying fool but I remained your
ever loving lying clown
...oooh I remain your ever loving lying clown (2x and fade)
