never much of a hopeful man   nothing good to say   but i couldn't help it    when i saw her   i had to know her         she don't know where to go   she don't know how to stay   and she don't know how good i can be   or how much i can pray         and soon i know her a little more   she's everything i dreamed   but still i wonder    what it would be like   if she let me         she don't know where to go   she don't know how to stay   and she don't know how good i can be   or how much i can pray         there must be something    that's following her   that keeps her from the stay   there must be something    that makes me want to pray         she says she's alright    but she's not sure   and i'm not sure what that means   she says she's alright    but she needs some help   i don't know how
