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

Well, 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 some kind of game, babe

Out of all of this living

That we’ve got left to do

And if you go searching

For rhyme or for reason

Then you won’t have the time

That it takes just for talkin'

About the places you’ve been, babe

About the faces 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 needs 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
