“Tell me why
Just because I gotta want your love
Honey just because I got to need need need your love
Honey I don’t understand……..
and when everybody in the world wants the same dame thing. when everyone in
the world needs the same lord thing
When I wanna work for your love daddy
When I wanna try for your love daddy
I don’t understand how come your gone, man.
I don’t understand why half the world is still crying when the other half the
world is still crying too. Man they can’t get it together.
I mean, if you got a cat for one day man, I mean, maybe say you want a cat
for three hundred and sixty five days, you aint got three hundred and sixty five
days.
You got him for one day. Well I’ll tell you that one day better be your
life, because you know,you could say, oh man, you could cry about the other
three hundred and sixty four, but your gonna lose that one day. And that’s all
you got. You gotta call that love, man. That’s what it is man.
If you got it today, you don’t wear it tomorrow man, cuz you don’t need it,
cuz as a matter of fact, as we discovered on the train, tomorrow never happens,
man. ITS ALL THE SAME FUCKING DAY, man.
So your gonna, when you wanna hold somebody, your gonna hold them like it’s
the last minute of your life.
You’re gonna Hold on….
Hold him, cuz Some day some weight gonna come on your shoulders babe,
it’s gonna feel too heavy,
it’s gonna weigh on you,
it’s gonna feel just like a Ball, oh daddy, and Chain"
