When

They say love is the answer
I say, what is the question?
They say, what's gonna matter
When time grows you old?
I say, I never asked that question
But I think you ought to know

I got friends I can count on
I got money in my pocket
There are promises I've broken
And promises I've kept
But I swear I never meant it
When I said I don't need nobody else
Oh no

I thought winning was the answer
Love was out of the question
My heart's the loser in the end
Now I know love is the answer
Question is when

When will somebody want me?
When will somebody need me?
When will I have that chance again?
'Cause I know love is the answer
The question is when
Yes, I know love is the answer
The question is when

When
