Sacrifice |
You know, I guess you’re wondering why |
A man would like to sing a sad, slow, and lonely song |
But you’d be surprised |
What a man will do |
When the one he loves is gone |
People, I’ve only ever been in love two times in my life |
And as strange as it seems, it was the same girl twice |
Oh, this girl made me weep, and she made me moan |
She broke my little heart, and left me all alone |
You see, my hearts been broken more times than the Ten Commandments |
And I’ve been made to cry more times than a weeping willow |
You understand what I’m saying? |
So if you see a man out there tonight |
Walking with tears in his eyes |
And pain in his heart |
It’ll be me |
If I had one last song to sing |
I believe it’d go something like this |
Tonight I walk, baby |
These streets alone |
I can feel the pain |
Coming on strong |
I got no one (No one) |
To say sweet things to me |
I’m lonely, lonely as a man can be |
Try to make me pay (Pay) |
By living my life (Pay) |
(Living my life) |
I sacrificed (Sacrificed) |
See, love ain’t nothing but sacrifice |
Sometimes I wonder |
How many years, baby |
Oh, Lord, is there in front of me |
Before I find someone who really loves me |
Who’s gonna set my heart free |
But only the good Lord (Lord) |
For the Lord knows |
Lord, what have I done? |
To cause all this pain and war |
She’s trying to make me pay (Pay) |
That awful price |
Of sacrifice |
Love ain’t nothing but sacrifice |
I went to my dear old mother and said |
Mother, dear, mother, dear, mother, dear |
Your baby boy got pain in his heart |
The girl I love tonight |
Oh, we’re so far apart, hah |
She looked at me with tears in her eyes |
And replied by saying these words to me |
Boy, each night, you pray |
Oh, she’ll come and break these chains one day |
You’ve got no one to call your own |
In other words my baby boy is all alone |
She’s trying to make him pay |
But he can’t take it |
She’s trying to make him pay |
But she can’t make him |
Oh I can’t pay, no, no, no (Pay the price) |
I can’t pay (The sacrifice) |
I’d give it all |
