i ll look over you

Merle Haggard

I'll look over things you do because I love you so,
And I'll be standing on the sidelines while you play.
It's your life to live the way you want to live,
And I'll look over you if you'll just let me stay.

It's no fault of yours if I can't give the thrill you need,
And I know someday you'll find someone who can.
Though it hurts to see you stare at every guy you see,
I'll look over you and try to understand.

I'll look over things you do because I love you so,
And I'll be standing on the sidelines while you play.
It's your life to live the way you want to live,
And I'll look over you if you'll just let me stay.
