| Mama don’t you weep
|
| take your blankets from the floor
|
| Let your baby sleep
|
| you don’t live here no more
|
| You think you’re drifting deep
|
| but there’s a light upon the shore
|
| you just get tired sometimes
|
| when it’s heavy on your mind
|
| Did somebody hurt you
|
| Did somebody lie
|
| Maybe they desert you
|
| but they cared themselves inside
|
| No matter how it goes down
|
| You can still stand up with pride
|
| you just get tired sometimes
|
| you just get tired
|
| And in the middle of the night time
|
| in the freezing rain
|
| I heard somebody asking was it all worth the pain
|
| But I believe that your darkness
|
| could never move your light
|
| But when you’re blinded
|
| you’re reminded for all that’s wrong in life
|
| Now when you’re out of your mind
|
| working that blind
|
| to turn it around you better trust somebody
|
| look at yourself you like what you see
|
| If you want something else you better trust somebody
|
| Ain’t no one but a stranger to you
|
| but I can show you what love can do
|
| Some got lovin' by the hour
|
| Some got lovin' by the pound
|
| Well I will love you for a lifetime
|
| and I’ll never let you down
|
| Because you know the truth is
|
| We all go round and round
|
| We just get tired sometimes
|
| We just get tired
|
| Well I don’t know about you
|
| but sometimes I feel like it’s a crime
|
| to suffer through the motions
|
| One heartache at a time
|
| But I can tell you still got it
|
| by the look that’s in your eyes
|
| You think it’s missing
|
| but I’m guessing
|
| it’s been there all the time
|
| Now when you’re outta your mind
|
| Working that blind
|
| To turn it around you better trust somebody
|
| Look at yourself
|
| you like what you see
|
| If you want something else
|
| you better trust somebody
|
| Ain’t no one but a stranger to you
|
| But I can show you what love can do
|
| How would you know that you’re alive
|
| Until you died a thousand times
|
| ‘Cause even fools like me are wise enough to say
|
| you will have everything
|
| when you give everything away
|
| And now I’m outta of my mind
|
| Working it blind
|
| to turn it around I gotta trust somebody
|
| look at myself I don’t like what I see
|
| I want something else
|
| so I can trust somebody
|
| Ain’t no one but a stranger to you
|
| But I can show you what love can do |
