It's only human for anyone to want to be in love. But who wants to be in love in vain. At night, you hang around the house and eat your heart out. And cry your eyes out, even rack your brain.
If I were a carpenter. And you were a lady. Would you marry me anyway?. Would you have my baby?. . If a tinker were my trade. Would you still find me.
If I had my druthers, I'd druther have my druthers. Than anything else I know. While you'd druther hustle, accumulatin' muscle. I'd druther watch daisies grow.
If a man answers your phone when I call. Ooh, there's gonna be some screamin' and that ain't all. . 'Cause if I'm here callin' you, then who's the who I'm talkin' to?.
Well, I'm on my way to Canaan's land. I'm on my way to Canaan's land. I'm on my way to Canaan's land. I'm on my way, great God, I'm on my way. . I asked my brother to come with-a me, yeah.
I never cared much for moonlit skies. Never winked back at fireflies. But now that the stars are in your eyes. I'm beginning to see the light. . I never went in for afterglow.
This lovely day will lengthen into evening. We'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had. Alone where we have walked together. I'll remember April and be glad.

I guess I'll have to change my plan. I should have realized there'd be another man. I overlooked that point completely. Until the big affair began. . Before I knew where I was at.

Well, uh, where would you be, yeah. If you'd kept on walking?. Oh, where would you be. If I'd stopped talking?. . If I hadn't said those words. And if you hadn't heard.
I know you've been hurt by someone else. I can tell by the way you carry yourself. But if you let me, here's what I'll do. I'll take care of you. . I, I've loved and lost, the same as you.
