Nina Ricci - I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got Lyrics

I've had my share of good chances
And mostly made a mess of them all
Every moment that passes, passes in error
There's a fly in the ointment of life
And it's hard being human at all
It's difficult just being alive
It's tough, even when it's not
And I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got

I got a blind hug from a stranger
Won the trust of a little child's heart
But when it came down to mercy or Midas
I threw in with the golden lot
My "self" became plated in gold
And my touch was as cold as a rock
And the evil root took hold
I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got

I remember every school party
And every holiday with its spark
A joy that unfolded right out of the dark
From the pocket of my mother's heart
And the years that I wore it on down
And the deeds to tear us apart
The words I used when we fought
I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got
No, I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got

Somebody said I was someone's somebody
And I guess I might have known it was true
From the twinkle and shine of innocent love
When I stole all the light that it drew
It crunched like leaves underfoot
And it pained me to look in its face
In love, I'm a crack shot
And I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got

People go to hell with good intentions
Some are honest and lose all they work for
God in His grace put up His Son
On a cross for the guilt of my past
And I have the nerve to repeat my sins;
And stone-face the Judge when I'm caught;
Hold out before I repent
I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got

I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got
I Never Deserve Any Good Thing I Got
