The Bearing Of A Shield

My sister told me
nobody's gonna hold me
unless she's an angel
to lift me from the battleground
all all night
all night long.

My sister mentioned
I need somebody fair
who doesn't hold a grudge
who doesn't have a care
all all night
all night long.

If her name is Rosemary
say a prayer for me
that I don't mistake her beauty
for company
if her name is Sherry
tell her big girls cry
she might forgive me
but I don't know why.

It's just the breaking of a heart
the bearing of a shield.

Nobody asks me
where the good lovers hide
you gotta tell her what you want
before she's your storybook bride
all all night
all night long.

If she says, "thanks for nothing"
she got off early
and didn't have the guts to take the ride
if somebody tells me,
"that girl is crazy - you better run for cover
she'll never be satisfied
with the breaking of a heart
the bearing of a shield."

I told my sister
life is good
I don't need nobody
who can't do me any good
all all night
all night long.

I left her house
give her a brotherly hug
she won't be no auntie
over some hole that I dug
all all night
all night long.
all all night
all night long.
