One Simple Job

You had one job A simple task I ask you nicely To do for me. Yet your such a klutz You just screwed it up It was so simple You find it complicated. Distracted or forgot Your so simple minded To lose track of time Forgot what was important. Can't you do right Why go off track You let me down When I need you most. When I'm feeling not my best Ill-stricken to my bed Aches and pains all over I count on you to help. Can't you listen Don't you see Do I matter To you at all? Off on your own Doing your things Makes me feel neglected When your not listening. Don't you care how I feel Can't comfort me for an hour When I'm feeling down You just brush it aside. All I ask of you One simple ting Do me one favor To help me out. Yet you can't do right Are you not bright Can't seem to see Just one thing One simple job.
