It Don’t Bring You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I know it ain't been roses lately
Baby, 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 almost 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's a waste of time

[Chorus]
Because it don't bring you love if you don't love
And it don't bring you time if you 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
But it won't bring you love if you don't love
And it won't bring you time if you ain't got time
And it won't bring you strength, baby, if you ain't strong
And it won't bring you kindness if you ain't kind

[Verse 3]
And 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

[Chorus]
That I can't bring you love if you don't love
And I can't bring you time if you 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
And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
