Analysis of You Always Watched Out For My Good
You knew me like no other could
You saved my life a thousand times
You always watched out for my good
You saved me from a thousand crimes
You steered me like no other could
You saved my life a thousand frets
You always watched out for my good
You saved me from a thousand debts
You drove me like no other could
You saved my life a thousand stalls
You always watched out for my good
You saved me from a thousand falls
You soothed me like no other could
You saved my life a thousand tears
You always watched out for my good
You saved me from a thousand fears
You taught me like no other could
You saved my life a thousand sides
You always watched out for my good
You saved me from a thousand tides
You loved me like no other could
You saved my life a thousand ways
You always watched out for my good
You saved me from a thousand frays
