lyrics

I got my face slapped by a woman I loved
got my nose punched in by a friend,
I've been get the hell out'd, and shut the hell up'd
again and again and again.
Oh I deserved it,
I've been a bastard so I've earned it
but I've paid my dues, and then a few,
so if you can forgive me for the man I've been baby,
I could do good by you.
I've broken a heart and I've told a lie,
I've taken for my own what was not to be mine.
I've been tossed out, and I've been talked down,
been embarrassed and depressed and alone in a crowd.
Oh I deserved it,
I've been a bastard so I've earned it,
but I've payed my dues, and then a few
so if you can forgive me for the man I've been
I could do good by you,
and be a man you want,
be a man you deserve,
be a man who'd never do anything to hurt you.
I've been up and I've been down,
done good and I've done bad
I've taken what I got, and given what I had and
I've had dirt on my hands and dirt on my knees.
I never shied away from dirty things,
'till you came along so clean.
maybe I could be clean too.
Oh I could clean up for you.
