A Blues for Stephanie

I used to be in love,

then the one I loved left,

cause you see, love ain't just something you can just get,

no, it's something that you give and pray at night about hoping that it's given back to you...

I never knew how much love hurt,

I only knew that I liked how it felt,

cause you see, if there was no bad...everyone would have it,

no, it ain't that simple...you gotta hurt before you can feel better

I always though that love was something you felt,

I didn't know that it was something that you became,

cause you see, when you have it...you don't know what you could do without it,

no, it ain't something you're given...it's something that you earn and have to work on

I used to think that love was just like a job,

I now see that it's more like a career than a job,

cause you see, if it were only a job...you could just quit and move on,

no, it's not a job...cause if you love someone and are in love, you've gotta go that extra mile and work it out no matter what it takes

I know now that I am in love,

I gotta keep working on it and can't give up,

cause you see, if I give up now...then everything that I've learned from my love is a lie,

no, hell no...it ain't a lie, it ain't a job, it ain't something I was given and it ain't that simple

I gotta work, pray, beg or what ever else that I gotta do...cause I love you...

please, don't make this into that lie...everyone makes mistakes...I would do anything for you
