Maria McKee - You Gotta Sin to Get Saved

Why Wasn't I More Grateful (When Life Was Sweet)

I had angels, a gang of angels by my side
Livin' lucky, golden girl with an easy ride
Little worry, loads of time, yeah

Wasn't it enough?
Wasn't it, wasn't it enough?

Tell me why wasn't I more grateful?
Why wasn't I more grateful?
Why wasn't I, why wasn't I more grateful
When life was sweet, when life was sweet?

Some people want, want-and-want-and-want, what they don't have
'Til it keeps 'em awake at night in their bed just twitchin'
Some people like to complain about every little thing
Some folks just never stop bitchin'

I had a good man, I took him for granted
And now I surely, surely, surely, surely miss him

Wasn't it enough?
Wasn't it, wasn't it enough?

Tell me why wasn't I more grateful?
Why wasn't I more grateful?
Why wasn't I, why wasn't I more grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful
When life was sweet, when life was sweet?
Ooh baby, yeah baby, good good good good good baby

Why wasn't I more grateful?
Why wasn't I more grateful?
Why wasn't I, why wasn't I more grateful
When life was sweet, when life was sweet?

Oh I wonder why, oh I wonder why
I wonder why, oh I wonder why
Oh it keeps me wonderin' what might've been, yeah
Keeps me wonderin' what might've been, yeah
A lot more grateful
Keeps me wonderin' what might've been
