Through all the hardship, you know you're a friend of mine The kind that lasts a lifetime Yeah we got friendship 'Cause we got friendship Said what's wrong my old time friend Something's bothering you Tell me what the problem is I'll see what I can do

All I want is everything I don't know how to leave you And I don't know how to stay I've got things that I must tell you That I don't know how to say The man behind these empty words Is crying out in shame Holding on to this sinking ship

And all these things Now that I got your love girl I'll never ever give it up Ah wan' yuh listen up Because ah love it so much girl I'll always need your kiss and your touch De way you watch

Nowhere like I do That your parents don't They don't care like I do And all the things that I know The way that I do I guess there's certain dreams that you gotta keep 'Cause they'll only know what you let 'em see All the things that I know There's

'Cause when you're conquering my day and night Easing the pain inside Keep the bad things out of my mind, out of my mind Got me loving, all of the time I don't mind wasting time Let's stop and smell the roses Are we going round in circles Are we running

You're gonna save me from myself It's not so easy loving me It gets so complicated All the things you've gotta be Everything's changin' But you're the truth I'm amazed by all your patience Everything I put you through When I'm about to fall

My substitute for love The face of you Should I wait for you I traded fame for love Without a second thought It all became a silly a game Some things cannot be bought I got exactly what I asked for Wanted it so badly

The more things change The more they stay the same We gotta wake up Give me power to end all of the strife Courage to kill the pro-life I don't want to see You can't change me You tell me not to bow Just follow for now

If you see her, say hello She might be in Tangier She left here last early spring Is livin' there, I hear Say for me that I'm all right Though things get kind of slow She might think that I've forgotten her Don't tell her it isn't so We had a falling-out

Come in for a minute Welcome back It's just me and you in this room right now And there's so many things that are on my mind Uh, yea, uh (be with me) Sometimes it's hard to say That's why I take all I've got
