Wouldn't It Be Good

(album: A Friend To Rely On - 1992)

I've got it bad
You don't know how bad I've got it
You've got it easy
You don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting even though I know I should
The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fiber
My broken spirit is frozen to the core
I don't want to be here no more

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
Grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

You must be joking you don't know a thing about it
You've got no problem
I'd stay right there if I were you
I've got it harder
You couldn't dream how hard I've got it
Stay out of my shoes
If you know what's good for you
The heat is stifling burning me up from the inside
The sweat is coming through each and every pore
I don't want to be here no more
I don't want to be here no more
I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be here no more

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
Grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

I've got it bad (Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes)
You don't know how bad I've got it
You've got it easy (Even if it was for just one day)
You don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
(Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away)
I'm sick of fighting even though I know I should
