Pardon my life, pardon my song I hope you're not nervous, I'm not going to stay long The one installment, I've made on your heart Is not enough to cover what we're willin' to start Cause I'm a flat broke love Lord I'm a flat broke love I'm up or I'm down, never constant or sound Empty my pockets full of grain The friends that I've loved, never feel I've been there I've never left a grateful one Cause I'm a flat broke love Well I'm a flat broke love Yeah I'm a flat broke love Baby I'm a flat broke love Cause I'm a flat broke love Yeah I'm a flat broke love Well I'm a flat broke love Lord I'm a flat broke love I'll state you this claim, you've all played the game You've all upset somebody's cart I think you forgot, love needs more than one heart Without it, it can't hold a true flame
