[Verse 1]
In a city somewhere
In a corner of the world
I've had my share of trouble
And trouble I have caused
Though I've paid and paid in spades
It doesn't take the pain away
But sometime in my life
I must have done something right
[Chorus]
We've waited here long enough
Maybe this time our ship's gonna come and berth
Here I am asking you
Cause I've got no time for a step out of line
Do you think that you can be good to me, baby?
Cause I'm gonna try to do right by you
Do you think you can handle it?
Cause I've had my bellyful
I don't want anyone hurt
[Verse 2]
I've been a bad, bad girl, it's true
I've done a lot of things I hope you'll never do
My guilty conscience might keep me up at night
But sometime in my life
I must have done something right
[Chorus]
We've waited here long enough
Maybe this time our ship's gonna come and berth
Here I am asking you
Cause I've got no time for a step out of line
Do you think that you can be good to me, baby?
Cause I'm gonna try to do right by you
Do you think you can handle it?
Cause I've had my bellyful
I don't want anyone hurt
[Bridge]
Of all your pretty horses before
You should know that I can love you much more
Of all your pretty horses before
You should know that I can love you much more
[Chorus]
We've waited here long enough
Maybe this time our ship's gonna come and berth
Here I am asking you
Cause I've got no time for a step out of line
Do you think that you can be good to me, baby?
Cause I'm gonna try to do right by you
Do you think you can handle it?
Cause I've had my bellyful
I don't want anyone hurt
