Townes Van Zandt - Don't Take It Too Bad lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, don't you take it too bad If you're feeling unloving Well, if you're feeling unfeeling If you're feeling alone Don't you take it too bad 'Cause it ain't you to blame, babe Well, it's only a game, babe Out of all of this living That we got left to do [Verse 2] And if you go searching For rhyme or for reason Well, then you won't have the time That it takes just for talking 'Bout the places you've been, babe 'Bout the faces you've seen, babe And how soft the time flies Past your window at night [Verse 3] And we just can't have that, girl 'Cause it's a sad, lonesome cold world And a man needs a woman To stand by his side And whisper sweet words In his ears about daydreams And roses and playthings And the sweetness of springtime And the sound of the rain
