That's What Love Will Do

VERSE 1
A BUSINESSMAN WALKED IN THE DINER
SAT DOWN ON THE BOOTH IN THE CORNER
AS HE CURSED ON THE PHONE ABOUT A DEAL THAT WENT WRONG
SNAPPED FOR THE WAITRESS TO COME

SHE SMILED AS SHE WALKED TO THE TABLE
BUT HE NEVER EVEN LOOKED UP FROM HIS PAPER
SHE WATCHED HIM FINISH UP, HE SET DOWN HIS CUP
AND WALK OUT WITHOUT LEAVING A TIP

SHE NOTICED HIS WALLET, THERE ON THE SEAT
SHE RAN OUT AND CAUGHT HIM AS HE CROSSED THE STREET

CHORUS
LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND
IT’LL ALWAYS HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE ON IT’S MIND
IT’S THE BEST WAY TO GO BUT NOT THE EASIEST PATH TO CHOOSE
SOMETIMES IT’S TOUGH (BUT)
THAT’S WHAT LOVE WILL DO

VERSE 2
SHE CLEANS HER LAST PLATE AT 2:05
AND TRIES TO STAY WARM TIL’ THE BUS ARRIVES
THEN SHE PUNCHES THE CLOCK, TO HER SECOND JOB
AT THE FAIRFAX RETIREMENT HOME

OLD MRS JACKSON’S A HANDFUL
AND TODAY SHE’S AS MAD AS A PITBULL
SHE CURSES AND SWEARS, BOUT HER KIDS THAT DON’T CARE
THROWS THE WHOLE DINNER TRAY TO THE FLOOR

WHEN HER SHIFT IS OVER, THE OTHER GIRLS LEAVE
SHE SLIPS BACK TO HER ROOM, AND READS HER TO SLEEP






IT’S PAST NINE OCLOCK AND SHE’S READY TO DROP BY THE TIME SHE WALKS IN THE DOOR
THERE ARE SQUEALS OF JOY, FROM HER 2 LITTLE BOYS, AND THEY FALL TO A PILE ON THE FLOOR
THEN IT’S KISSES AND HUGS, A BOARD GAME OR TWO
AND THEY ALL FALL ASLEEP READING GOODNIGHT MOON
