"I Got What I Got"

I was lost 

I was flying blind 

Couldn’t see 

What I was hoping to find 

Didn’t care

Where this journey might end 

Didn’t dare 

Reach for the hand of a friend 

I knew I needed love 

But didn’t have the nerve 

Thank God I got what I got 

And not what I deserve 

 

I was trapped 

By an endless maze 

Crazy nights 

Long and lonely days 

Told myself 

Life was better alone 

Living hell 

My heart was hard as a stone 

And if I found a love 

I always left her hurt 

Thank God I got what I got 

And not what I deserve 

 

You saw something in me 

That I could never see 

You chipped away 

Day after day 

And set my cold heart free 

 

After you 

Brought me back to life 

Then I knew 

Had to make you my wife 

Every day 

To have and to hold 

Come what may 

You are my ace in the hole 

Now I live a life I love 

Hugging all the curves 

Thank God I got what I got 

And not what I deserve 

 

Thank God I got what I got 

And not what I deserve 

 

I got what I got – thank God 

I got what I got – thank God 

I got what I got
