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 (sweetheart)    And for every single day you're 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    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    Heaven only knows if our dreams are coming or gone    (Coming or gone, coming or gone)    But you're still holding my hand   Sweetheart (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 every day       (Some more promises)      (like kings on Christmas Day)
