Let’s make the best of the situation  
Before I finally go insane  
Please don’t say we’ll never find a way  
And tell me all my love’s in vain

You’re lying so low into the weeds,  
I bet you gonna ambush me  
You’d have me down, down, down on my knees  
Now wouldn’t you, barracuda? Oh

Everybody’s down on their knees  
Listen like thieves  
But who needs that  
When it’s all in your hands

I’d be down on my knees  
Ready to pray, darlin’  
Down on my knees  
Making you stay  
I’d be begging you, please  
Don’t take your love from me  
I’d be down on my knees

Take me to church, I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies  
I’ll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife  
Offer me that deathless death, oh, good God, let me give you my life

If I fell in love with you  
Would you promise to be true  
And help me understand  
'Cause I’ve been in love before  
And I know that love is more  
Than just holding hands

I believe, for every drop of rain that falls,  
A flower grows…  
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,  
A candle glows…  
I believe for everyone who goes astray,  
Someone will come, to show the way,  
I believe, I believe…

Something you can’t hide  
Says you’re lonely  
Hidden deep inside  
Of you only  
It’s there for you to see  
Take a look and be  
Burn slowly the candle of life

What she sees is only what she wants to  
What she has she thinks is enough  
What she looks at is only the good things

What she is  
Is a woman in love

And he’s just an ordinary man…

I don’t know how to take this  
I don’t see why he moves me  
He’s a man, he’s just a man  
And I’ve had so many men before  
In very many ways  
He’s just one more

Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin  
Never had no problems ‘cause I’ve always paid the rent  
I got no time for lovin’  
‘Cause my time is all used up  
I stand outside creatin’  
All the groovy kinds of love  
I’m a man, yes I am and I can’t help but love you so

When I’m feelin’ blue, all I have to do  
Is take a look at you, then I’m not so blue  
When you’re close to me, I can feel your heartbeat  
I can hear you breathing in my ear  
Wouldn’t you agree?  
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

I’ve got no deeds to do, no promises to keep

Life, I love you, all is groovy
