When The Love Is Good

(album: Home - 1989)

Well, I work for the money but it takes my pride
It takes everything that I got down inside
Takes half a life just to break even
And it takes half my money just to have my fun
And I get so tired of love on the phone
I'm standing here when I should be at home
And the longest nights when I'm far away
You listen, pretty baby, to the words I say
"Hey lady, yes I can do anything, wanna be your man
Hey lady, yes I could do anything when the love is good"
No tears will fall from this angel's eyes
We'll hold promises where the love never dies
Old memories, well, I ain't got none
'Cause soft, sweet angel, now, you're the one
Well, I guess I'll go find my way, get down on my knees and pray
All this talk 'bout love someday, when, baby, I'm just giving it away
Now, no tears gonna fall, no one's gonna cry
We'll hole up in heaven, let the world go by
Longest nights when I'm far away
You listen, pretty baby, to the words I say
