pray god
you can cope
i stand outside this woman's work
this woman's world
ooh
it's hard on the man
now his part is over
now starts the craft of the father

i know you have a little life in you yet
i know you have a lot of strength left
i know you have a little life in you yet
i know you have a lot of strength left

i should be crying but i just can't let it show
i should be hoping but i can't stop thinking
of all the things i should've said that i never said
all the things we should've done that we never did
all the things i should've given but i didn't

oh
my darling make it go
make it go away

give me these moments back
give them back to me
give me that little kiss
give me your hand

i know you have a little life in you yet
i know you have a lot of strength left
i know you have a little life in you yet
i know you have a lot of strength left

i should be crying but i just can't let it show
i should be hoping but i can't stop thinking
ooh
of all the things we should've said that were never said
all the things we should've done that we never did
all the things that you needed from me
all the things that you wanted for me
all the things that i should've given but i didn't

oh
darling make it go
make it go away now
oh

good times for a change
see, the luck i've had
can make a good man
turn bad
so please please please
let me, let me, let me
let me get what i want
this time


haven't had a dream in a long time
see, the life i've had
can make a good man bad
so for once in my life
let me get what i want
lord knows it would be the first time
lord knows it would be the first time

standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute, more unprepared

i made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in the drawers
i want to start over, i want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning

i wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god, I'm very, very frightened, i'll overdo it

looking for somewhere to stand and stay
i leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
can i get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick?

my leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
i better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
you could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other

i wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god, I'm very, very frightened, I?ll overdo it

you know i dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before i saw you
you know i dreamed about you
i missed you for, for twenty-nine years

you know i dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before i saw you
you know i dreamed about you
i missed you for, for twenty-nine years

you've been waiting on an answer
to something that's been on your mind
they tell you to be patient
that all will be revealed in time

so you keep on treading water
waiting for the tide to turn
and wondering all the while
when will it get easier?

come tomorrow
come tomorrow
come tomorrow
and leave today to yesterday

you're well aware of what you're missing
you count up every sacrifice you've made
but don't you ever stop believing
that it's worth it all someday
