Woman don't you ever wonder
Where you'd be if i just walked on by
What's your name can i take your number
Darling come with me i'm going to change your life
When you're young you think you're winning
Why worry til the babies cry
I was wrong it's the blues we're singing
Chasing after pennies just to survive
And there's no way the gods are hearing me baby
They don't even try they don't even try
And all the things i said i'd give you
Just seem to pass me by no matter how i try
I hope you understand
This is not what i had planned for us
God only knows if my dreams are coming or gone
Are coming or gone
But you're still holding my hand
Sweetheart
And for every single day than you here
It's crystal clear that god isn't mad at me at all
He ain't mad at me at all
And all this praying hard ain't gonna save the day
Maybe that's really what i'm guilty of
I know we live in times when love is not enough
It's not enough
No no no no no
And there's no way the gods are hearing me baby
They don't even try they don't even try
So all the things i said i'd give you
Just seem to pass this by
No matter how i try
I hope you understand
This is not what i had planned for us
Heaven only knows if our dreams are coming or gone
Coming or gone
But you're still holding my hand
Sweetheart
So for every single day that you're here
It's crystal clear
That god isn't mad at me at all
He ain't mad at me at all
There's a place in my mind
Somewhere we could be fine
Where the children would play
And we'd eat like kings everyday
