Don’t I? By Henry Alvin

Don’t I deserve to know?

Why is it so hard for you to let me hear?

Why can’t you let your feelings show?

Why can’t you say what you think I know?
What is the simplest said I would hold so dear.
Don’t I deserve to know?

How far down this road shall I go?

How far to the right or left should I veer?

Why can’t your feelings you let show?

It’s not like I tell the way the wind should blow,
Like you I tried the bottom of beer.
Don’t I deserve to know?

Like a buck I found a doe,
But all she led me to was tears.
Why is your feelings so hard to show?

Of this life you left me in the undertow.
A way of my own I found to adhere.
But don’t I deserve to know?
For my feelings I can show.
