Somethin' gotta give with the way I'm livin' Seems I'm gettin' down everyday The more I strive, the less I'm alive And seems i'm gettin' further away
Oh well all my superstitions And my crazy suspicions Of the people that I care about I've been doin' more screamin' Than I've been doin' dreamin' And I think it's time I figure it out
Baby i need a plan Oh, to understand That life ain't only supply and demand
I've been goin' joggin' in the park after dark Draggin' 'round with me my ball and chain Took southern skies to make me realize That I'm causin' myself this pain
Well the woman that I'm lovin' Yeah I'm pushin' and shovin' Getting further on by the day And I can't understand How the heart of this man Ever let it end up this way
Baby I need a plan Oh to understand That life ain't only supply and demand
When the road gets dark and lonesome dear You can find me here But honey you don't know where I am You need a friend, yeah
Life ain't easy In fact I know it's sleazy When you're the big man in town Shakin' religions And makin' decisions You never get to slow on down
Well your wife and your baby You tell them yeah well maybe ?I'll meet y'all at a weekend resort? But your eyes on the prize And you can't realize That your little girl's life's so short
Brother you need a plan Oh to understand That life ain't only supply and demand
Yeah sister you need a plan Oh to understand That life ain't only supply and demand
Hey, you better figure it out now You know you ain't comin' back down, yeah You better figure it out now You know you ain't comin' back down
