There once was an ugly old man
And in the way of love he'd stand
And he wouldn't be a friend to anyone except himself
And in the days of the ugly man's need
Nobody ever even heard his plead
'Cause all the ones who tried to love him
He had chased them all away
Now he knows it's true
The ugliness comes back to you
She was holding all her love inside
It was the safest thing to do
'Cause if she never let her feelings out she'd never have to cry
But it's a different story now
She took a chance on love somehow
And the man who loves her faithfully
Showed her the reason why
It's up to you
The love you give comes back to you
Down on his knees to pray
He didn't know really what to say
But he knew things would be different now
Because he had the faith
And now he's traveling on a different road
With a peach that he never knew
But if he never had the faith to try
He'd only wonder why I say to you
The faith you have comes back to you
And in the way of love he'd stand
And he wouldn't be a friend to anyone except himself
And in the days of the ugly man's need
Nobody ever even heard his plead
'Cause all the ones who tried to love him
He had chased them all away
Now he knows it's true
The ugliness comes back to you
She was holding all her love inside
It was the safest thing to do
'Cause if she never let her feelings out she'd never have to cry
But it's a different story now
She took a chance on love somehow
And the man who loves her faithfully
Showed her the reason why
It's up to you
The love you give comes back to you
Down on his knees to pray
He didn't know really what to say
But he knew things would be different now
Because he had the faith
And now he's traveling on a different road
With a peach that he never knew
But if he never had the faith to try
He'd only wonder why I say to you
The faith you have comes back to you
