Joseph Stay - Crespi's Crisis

If I were a miller, I'd make you my own brew
But I ain't no miller, so I can't please you
If I were a mason, I'd erect your statue
But I ain't no mason, so I can't please you
I thought about it gal, I thought the whole thing through
But I ain't no thinking man, I can't please you
And if I were a miner, find diamonds I would do
But I ain't no miner, so I can't please you

So give me some good reason, I'd be satisfied with two
Why nothing that I do can please you
I'd like to change my thoughts, gal
I'd like to improve
But you don't tell me anything
I can't please you

If I were a monkey, for thee I'd join the zoo
But I ain't no monkey man, I can't please you
And if I were a warlock, I'd stir you up a stew
But I ain't no warlock, so I can't please you
I wrote about it gal, I wrote a whole volume
But I ain't no writer, no, I can't please you
And if I were a driller, I'd drill the whole world through
But I ain't no driller, so I can't please you

So give me some good reason, I'd be satisfied with two
Why nothing that I do can please you
I'd like to change my thoughts, gal
I'd so much like to improve
But you don't tell me anything
I can't please you

I never thought satisfaction could be so hard to pursue
But satisfaction can't be had, I can't please you
I never believed a cult to be so diffigirl to choose
But I settled on a choice and that don't please you
I bought you rings, I've stole you things, for that I've been a fool
But never fool enough to die for you, I can't please you
I've tried assassinations, I've tried more than a few
But never was successful, failure disappoints you
You want me for an ocean, a big old ocean blue
But I ain't no ocean so I can't please you
So I see that I ain't worthy, we both know that it's true
But the truth means nothing anyhow
I can't please you
