Lyric Don t you take it too bad

by Townes Van Zandt

Don t you take it too bad
if you re feelin unlovin
if you re feelin unfeelin
if you re feelin alone
Don t take it too bad


Cause it ain t you to blame, babe
Lord, it s just some kind of game made
out of all of this living
that we got left to do


And if you go searchin
for rhyme or for reason
then you won t have the time
that it take just for talkin
about the places you ve been, babe
about the places you ve seen, babe
and how soft the time flies
past your window at night


And we just can t have that, girl
cause it s a sad, lonesome, cold world
and a man need a woman just 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
