Oh We were at the table by the window, the view Casting shadows, the sun was pushing through Spoke a lot of words, I don't know if I spoke the truth Got so much to lose Got so much to prove God don't let me lose my mind Trouble on my left, trouble on my right I've been facing trouble almost all my life My sweet love, won't you pull me through? Everywhere I look I catch a glimpse of you I said it was love and I did it for life (did-did it for you) Oh We will come to pass, will I pass the test? You know what they say, yeah The wicked get no rest You can have my heart, any place, any time Got so much to lose Got so much to prove God don't let me lose my mind Trouble on my left, trouble on my right I've been facing trouble almost all my life My sweet love, won't you pull me through? Everywhere I look I catch a glimpse of you I said it was love and I did it for life (did-did it for you) Trouble on my left, trouble on my right I've been facing trouble almost all my life My sweet love, won't you pull me through? Everywhere I look I catch a glimpse of you I said it was love and I did it for life (did-did it for you) Oh Got so much to lose Got so much to prove God don't let me lose my mind
