Love Takes Work

Michael August Walton
Only On Days That You Eat (ASCAP)

Verse 1:
Through the door I hear her cryin’ on the phone
She said, “Mama sometimes I feel so alone”
She said, “Things used to be perfect
But I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore”

I walked out ‘fore she knew I was home
Didn’t realize how far apart we’ve grown
From a tired old pay phone I called my old man
He said, “Son, if I told you once, I’ll tell you again…

Chorus:
“Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always easy you gonna fight and cross that line
Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always pretty
You gotta get your hands dirty
You gotta throw away your pride like an old t-shirt
Love takes work”

Verse 2:
Well, I came home to find her curled up on the bed
With tears in her eyes she looked at me and said,
“I’m thinking ‘bout leaving
Can you give me a reason to stay?’
As I dried her eyes, I knew just what to say…

Chorus 2:
Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always easy we gonna fight and cross that line
Honey love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always pretty
You gotta get your hands dirty
We gotta throw away our pride like and old t-shirt
Yeah love takes…

Bridge:
Slammin’ doors on a Sunday night
Weeks at a time when all we do is fight
Makin’ war when we should be makin’ love
But we can make this garden grow
With a little bit of faith and a little bit of hope
And a lot of not giving up

Chorus 3 & Out:
Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always easy we gonna fight and cross that line
Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always pretty
We gotta get our hands dirty
We gotta do the best to prove what this is worth
Love takes work…

(Don’t give up)
Love Takes Works
(Just give)
Love Takes Work
(Don’t give up)
