lyrics: barbe paris, music: dave paris

joey is an easy kind of guy

nothing seems to bother him much.

but if you watch him any day or night,

you might catch him looking up.

at times i’ve seen him whispering words.

no one’s there but he feels he’s been heard.

he tells me stories about the times of the old.

how he’s learned to love others no matter what he’s told.

what makes his life look so easy?

what makes his words bring me peace?

what does he have? what does it mean?

(chorus)

give me what you’ve got - that’s all that i’m asking.

give me what you’ve got - show me how - i’m waiting.

give me what you’ve got - is it God that i’m needing?

i’m ready and willing to listen!

give me what you’ve got.

sabrina is a good friend of mine.

another diamond in the rough.

wishful thinking is not her style. (she knows that),

nothing on earth can bring her love.

what gives her strength through the long nights?

when daddy’s gone and momma’s not coming home.

what gives her faith to pray for the changes?

when this life is all that she knows?

what makes her faith look so easy?

what makes her strength bring me peace?

what does she have? what does it mean?

(to chorus)
