My Little Darlin Knows My Nature lyrics

My little darlin knows my nature My little darlin knows my mind She has sheltered me from it all the time For left alone to my own devices I will tear at the carpet I'll chew the blinds A more feral specimen you won't find But every year I am getting older And I lose my good-looks, lose my charms All I used to lure you into my arms Who could blame you being cynical You're right the world it is a crypt It's pitiless and cold And though I remain skeptical That you still love me May be the only miracle I never learned to trust a love song It was not because the words were trite But I felt the love itself was trite Now my little darlin I'll sing you a love song One you can hang your hat on every night I will be your witness if you be mine I will be your witness if you be mine I will be your witness if you be my wife
