It Don¡¯t Bring You lyrics

Well I know it ain¡¯t been roses lately
Baby it¡¯s just been thorns
And no matter what we do
Nothing seems to change
Love has always been my shelter
For you it¡¯s been a storm
But for a while I thought
We¡¯d almost beat the rain

Now there¡¯s a hole here in my pocket
Where all my dreams have gone
Falling out like so many nickels and dimes
And last of all you
You¡¯d always been my good luck charm
I should¡¯ve known that luck
It was a waste of time

Cause it don¡¯t bring you love if you don¡¯t love
And it don¡¯t bring you time if you ain¡¯t got time
And it don¡¯t bring you strength baby if you ain¡¯t strong
And it don¡¯t bring you kindness if you ain¡¯t kind

Now there¡¯s a whole lot in life to be unsure of
But there¡¯s one thing I can safely say I know
That of all the things that finally desert us
Pride is always the last thing to go

But it don¡¯t bring you love if you don¡¯t love
And it don¡¯t bring you time if you ain¡¯t got time
And it don¡¯t bring you strength baby if you ain¡¯t strong
And it don¡¯t bring you kindness if you ain¡¯t kind

And now I wish you only roses without the thorns
And I hope your dreams are always within reach
And I wish you shelter baby from all your storms
They scared you but they never seemed to teach

That I can¡¯t bring you love if you don¡¯t love
And I can¡¯t bring you time if you ain¡¯t got time
And I can¡¯t bring you strength baby if you ain¡¯t strong
And I can¡¯t bring you kindness if you ain¡¯t kind
And I can¡¯t bring you kindness if you ain¡¯t kind
