[Verse 1]
When you decided to leave
I never asked where you'd gone
When you decided to leave
I left you alone

It don't mean much to me
What all you did while you're gone
It don't mean much to me
As long as you come home

[Chorus]
I try to be a good man
But I've done so wrong for so long
I don't know if I can
Help but be a bad man

[Verse 2]
I know that you loved me, once
And I took for granted the time
I know that you loved me, once
When you were mine

When you decided to leave
I was so young and so bold
And then you decided to leave
I got tired and old
[Chorus]
I try to be a good man
But I've done so wrong for so long
I don't know if I can
Help but be a bad man

I try to be a good man
But I've done so wrong for so long
I don't know if I can
Help but be a bad man
