It Don't Bring You

Well, I know it ain't been roses lately
 Baby, it's just been thorns
 And no matter what we do
 Nothing seems to change
 Love has always been my shelter
 For you it's been a storm
 But for a while I thought
 We'd almost beat the rain
 Now there's a hole here in my pocket
 Where all my dreams have gone
 Falling out like so many nickels and dimes
 And last of all you
 You'd always been my good luck charm
 I should've known that luck
 It was a waste of time
 'Cause it don't bring you love if you don't love
 And it don't bring you time if you ain't got time
 And it don't bring you strength baby if you ain't strong
 And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
 Now there's a whole lot in life to be unsure of
 ♪
 But there's one thing I can safely say I know
 That of all the things that finally desert us
 Pride is always the last thing to go
 But it won't bring you love if you don't love
 And it won't bring you time if you ain't got time
 And it won't bring you strength baby if you ain't strong
 And it won't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
 ♪
 And now I wish you only roses without the thorns
 
 And I hope your dreams are always within reach
 And I wish you shelter,baby, from all your storms
 They scared you but they never seemed to teach
 That I can't bring you love if you don't love
 And I can't bring you time if you ain't got time
 And I can't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong
 And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
 And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
