My Little Darlin Knows My Nature

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
