Lyrics Prefab Sprout

Prefab Sprout

I'm a Troubled Man

Girl I sing this song for you

For all the miseries I've dragged you through

For the moods I can't explain

For the sunny days I've spoiled with rain

Please forgive me if you can

Girl, you know that I'm a troubled man

Girl, you know that I'm a troubled man

Child, I sing this verse for you

For the duties that I've failed to do

For the times I wasn't there

Times like broken toys, beyond repair

Please forgive me if you can

Child, your daddy was a troubled man

Child, your daddy is a troubled man

God in heaven, heed my plight

On my darkness shed eternal light

I am weak, so weak, you are strong

I can't count the times that I've done wrong

Please forgive me if you can

Lord, you know that I'm a troubled man

Lord, you know that I'm a troubled man
