It Don't Bring You - Maura O'Connell

作词：Maura O'Connell/Mary Chapin Carpenter

作曲：Maura O'Connell/Mary Chapin Carpenter

Well i know it ain't been roses lately

It's just been thorns

And no matter what we do nothing seems to change

Love has always been my shelter

For you it's been a storm

But for a while i thought we'd always beat the rain

Now there's a hole here in my pocket

Where all my dreams have gone

Fallen out like so many nickels and dimes

And last of all you

You'd always been my good luck charm

I should've known that luck

Is just a waste of time

Cause it don't bring you love if you don't love

And it don't bring you time ain't got time

And it don't bring you strength

Baby if you ain't strong

And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

Now there's a whole lot of life to be unsure of

But there's one thing i can safely say i know

That of all the things that finally desert us

Pride is always the last thing to go

But it won't bring you love if you don't love

And it won't bring you time ain't got time

And it won't bring you strength

You ain't strong

And it won't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

Now i wish you only roses

Without the thorns

And i hope your dreams are always within reach

And i wish you shelter baby

From all your storms

They scared you but they never seemed to teach

That i can't bring you love if you don't love

And i can't bring you time ain't got time

And i can't bring you strength

Baby if you ain't strong

And i can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

That i can't bring you love if you don't love

And i can't bring you time ain't got time

And i can't bring you strength

Baby if you ain't strong

And i don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
