My baby and are back together again Lovin' is better than it's ever been If it weren't for the trials we've been through I'd never have the courage to come back to you

There was an old lady sittin' under a tree She called me over and she said to me "My days left here may not be long I wouldn't waste my time tellin' you nothin' wrong
But love is a flower that needs the sun and the rain A little bit of pleasure's worth a whole lot of pain If you learn this secret, how to forgive A longer and better life you'll live'

Anything worth havin' at all Is worth workin' for and waitin' for Some of my closest friends Have thought they had their thing on a string Just 'cause that man was bringin' 'em flowers and candy and all kinds of gifts Mmm, mmm, honey Some gifts are just to make him feel better while he's on his guilt trip About the night before You know what I mean Especially when you know you haven't been doin' the things you should do Think about it What is the man tryin' to tell you Sometimes flowers mean "Maybe we should just be friends' Do you get my drift Hang if you can hang No pain, no gain
In order to get something You got to give something In order to be something You got to go through something
