Oh My Love
She wrote to me and said in a letterThat she wanted to see if she could do betterShe thought that she could if I only I'd let herAnd that's where she stood for worse or for betterAnd I couldn't argue 'cause deep down I knewAs much as it pained me, well, I felt it tooAnd, oh, my love, we've got to be more careful in the futureAnd, oh, how much it helps to talk about it and let it outYesterday I found a picture of meWhen I was a baby and I was to beA man with no homeAdrift in the seaNo plan of his own So careless and freeIt makes me sad but then deep down I knowThat all is not lost and there's still room to growAnd, oh, my love, we've got to be more careful in the futureAnd, oh, how much it helps to talk about it and get it outWe could be lovers or we could be friendsSmother each other, but that's how it endsCould be the wrong words that mean everythingLike two lonely songbirds that don't want to singSongtexteAnd it's hard to swallow but deep down insideI know that it's true and can't be deniedAnd, oh, my love, we've got to be more careful in the futureAnd, oh, how much it helps to talk about it and let it outAnd I'm so proud of the way we face the truth about our futureAnd, so, my love, what will we do without itDo without it Aus Songtexte Mania
