I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime;
Or is it just solid rock?
I'm walking through streets that are dead
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Tough Mama;
Can I blow a little smoke on you?
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,;
I saw what I wanted to be
They don't want me around;
'Cause I believe in you.
Oh it's rush hour now;
On the wheel and the plow;
And the sun is going down;
Upon the sacred cow.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer;
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
And now the heart is filled with gold;
As if it was a purse.;
But, oh, what kind of love is this;
Which goes from bad to worse?
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,;
Nobody stops to ask why.
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind;
You could have done better but I don't mind;
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity
I got nothing left to burn
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry,;
What good am I?
Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?;
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Here is your throat back;
Thanks for the loan
