Your Good Fortune Lyrics


Why did you spend your good fortune on me?
Why did you spend your good fortune on me?Did you leave me to suffer,
Just to suffer in breath
Did you picked to the leaders,
and you settled on me?
Am I just play thing for the wind like leaf?
Or did you need me exactly where I need to be?Tell me why did you spend your good fortune on me?
Why did you spend your good fortune on me?AI can tell you of sorrow
Of losing, of pain
I can cry through the letter
If it'd washed you away
I can give you a reason, two reasons or three
I can tell you my heart is
From leanness and grieveTell me why did you spend your good fortune on me?
Ooh, oh why did you spend your good fortune on me?I can tell you a story, tell it simple and plain
Tell your life is a candle
It flickrs and I'm a flame
So if I give a reason for me to say what I'm saying,

I'd say that you are the answer to my question everydaySaying why did you spend your good fortune on me?
Tell me why did you spend your great fortune on me?
Why did you spend your good fortune on me?
Ooh oh, why did you spend your good fortune on me?!
On me? On me?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
