Well, I drank myself to trouble once or twice
I banged my head against the wall a couple times
But I promise when this bitter world brings me to my knees
Then darling, I'll lay the world right at your feet
Oh, oh, darling, I'll lay the world

But now I'm better than I was before and better I'll still be
But I'm not sure that your patience won't run too short with me
So I say I love you every day and practice what I preach
If you'll let me lay the world right at your feet
Oh, oh, darling, I'll lay the world right at your feet

I love what we've built and what there's still to make
And when you need my hand, it's always yours to take
So if my habits never change then I'll stay the same
Then I promise that I'll try my best to make it out the rain

But now I'm better than I was before and better I'll still be
But I'm not sure that your patience won't run too short with me
So I say I love you every day and practice what I preach
If you'll let me lay the world right at your feet
Oh, oh, darling, I'll lay the world right at your feet
