Maybe I

Cut mad like a snake that’s stepped on

A deep bite with deep pain

Been spitting venom all across town

Trying to ease a little of your pain

But don’t you remember where I stand?

In the crowd happily watching

Oh maybe I shouldn’t worry about

Those who got no love to give

I was never one to be cruel

But I put my hand into the flame

Took me for some kind of foolish youngster

Who didn’t have what it takes

Who’s gonna take off your boots

And turn off your lamp?

Who’s gonna pry that wet cigarette

from your clenched hand?

Oh maybe I shouldn’t worry about

Those who got no love to give
