I never want
to hurt you now
or continue all my
cruel demands
if I could only
find out how
to use kind words
or gentle hands
how can you be
scared of me?
did I hurt you badly?

I never thought
a hell of a lot
but I always loved you
in my own way
I never gave
it reason or name
but I always loved you
in my own way

it has been
a desperate cost
I took you places
where I was lost
and I can't do anything
for you expect
nothing from me
I hear loose talk
from pretty girls
wish they'd go back
to their fam'lies

I never thought
a hell of a lot
but I always loved you
in my own way
I never gave
it reason or name
but I always loved you
in my own way
always loved you
in my own way
