  • I was raised in a Catholic school, learned who to fire with and pray to
    I learned how to hold on from a book of old Psalms
    And if you're trying to sing an old song, you're getting all the words wrong
    Well, you're just a-following along too closely in the book

    I learned how to keep my head from something Paul said
    About keeping the fruit in the spirit from the chorus down to the hook
    And sometimes I wonder what in God's name did I do to deserve you
    Oh, to deserve you

    'Cause I just rolled and I tumbled, down a long road I stumbled
    While shooting in the dark as to what's best
    And finally I found you without ever learning how to
    I put the right foot in front of the leg and beyond that is anybody's guess

    I learned how to keep my head from something Paul said
    About keeping the fruit in the spirit from the chorus down to the hook
    Oh, and sometimes I wonder what in God's name did I do to deserve you
    Oh, to deserve you

    'Cause I just rolled and I tumbled, down a long road I stumbled
    While shooting in the dark as to what's best
    And finally I found you without ever learning how to
    I put the right foot in front of the leg

    'Cause I just rolled and I tumbled, down a long road I stumbled
    While shooting in the dark as to what's best
    Oh, as to what's best, as to what's best
    And finally I found you without ever learning how to
    I put the right foot in front of the leg and beyond that is anybody's guess Writer/s: M. WARD
