You Asked Me To - Nanci Griffith

Long ago and far away

In my ol' common labor shoes

I turned the world all which a way

Just because you asked me to.

Like unto no other

Feel simple love is simple true

There’s no end to what I’d do Just because you asked me.

Let the world call me a fool

But if things are right with me and you

That’s all that matters

And I’ll do anything you asked me to.

Knowing how much I love you

And after all that I’ve been through

I’d turn and walk away from you

Just because you asked me to.

(Lord. I hope you’ll never do.)

Let the world call me a fool

But if things are right with me and you

That’s all that matters

And I’ll do anything you asked me to.
