Ain't I Been Good To You
Love's Unanswered Door: A Melodic Plea by The String Cheese Incident
Lyrics
I know you hear me knocking
I am trying to get your attention.
Knocking on your door
Seeking entrance into your life or emotions.
But you don't run and answer
You are avoiding and not responding.
Don't you love me anymore?
Questioning the love and connection.
You know I'm tired and hungry
Expressing fatigue and hunger for support.
Need some shelter from the storm
Desire for refuge from life's difficulties.
But you don't run and answer
No response despite the need for help.
Don't you love me anymore?
Reiterating the lack of apparent love.
Ain't I been good to you. Oh oh
Asserting the goodness and kindness provided.
Ain't I been good to you. Mm Hm
Reaffirming the positive actions and intentions.
Ain't I been good to you. Oh oh
Reiterating the question of being good to you.
Ain't I been good to you. Mm Hm
Emphasizing the positive treatment and care.
I'll camp here on your doorstep
Stating a commitment to staying close.
Nowhere I need to go
No specific destination, indicating patience.
I'm waiting on your answer
Eagerly awaiting a response from you.
I really want to know
Expressing genuine curiosity and desire to know.
Don't make me wait too long now
Impatience, not wanting to wait indefinitely.
Till I have to move along
Indicating a potential need to move on.
Won't you come run and answer
Requesting immediate acknowledgment and love.
And open up your door?
Inviting emotional openness and connection.
Ain't I been good to you. Oh oh
Repeating the question about being good.
Ain't I been good to you. Mm Hm
Affirming the positive actions and care provided.
Ain't I been good to you. Oh oh
Reiterating the inquiry into one's goodness.
Ain't I been good to you. Mm Hm
Emphasizing the positive treatment and care.
