专辑:《The Rod Stewart Album》

I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
Till I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five

I lost both my mother and my father

Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor

Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness
Which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun
And that aint all

A homeless child for the next five years

With my dog clown by my side and my only friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I fought my way through school

Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend

And you know what the, the, the kids
Down my street werent too playful

And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me

And ah yeah

I worked my fingers to the bone

Stretchin hide for a boot man in jersey town

then, But but then I lost the last thing I had

When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog clown

I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman
Sixteen years old and felt like a woman
But, but, but, but, but what Im trying to say is
God please dont take her away from me

I lost everything that I ever had
You kicked my name into the dirt

Tread my name into the dirt yeah

I lost everything that I ever had
You kicked my name into the dirt
What could I do

I never knew how much love could hurt me

But it never ever come my way before

No, no, no, no, no
I never knew how much love could hurt me
Good God it aint never come my way before

Oh but, but you know what Im trying to say
Really what Im trying to say is
God please dont take her away from me

Ah turn it down

I lost everything that I ever had
You kicked my name into the dirt

You got a lotta lotta lost everything
That I ever had ever had
