I like the way she calls me baby
Hair pulled back to show her smile
Coming in late she always says maybe
We should wait a little while
But I was hoping maybe one day
We could have ourselves a little child
Name him after her great grandfather
Any thing makes her smile
[Pre-Chorus]
I know
I've seen it before
[Chorus]
All the lessons I've learned
All the money I've burned
All the things that I thought were but they weren't
All were trials that added up to her
All these lovers making compromise
Trying to sacrifice for love
Hoping things will only get better and better
But they don't
They're only poised to see them fall
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
All the lessons I've learned
All the money I've burned
She emanates light
Hits I realize
What I do not deserve I do not deny
Hair pulled back to show her smile
Coming in late she always says maybe
We should wait a little while
But I was hoping maybe one day
We could have ourselves a little child
Name him after her great grandfather
Any thing makes her smile
[Pre-Chorus]
I know
I've seen it before
[Chorus]
All the lessons I've learned
All the money I've burned
All the things that I thought were but they weren't
All were trials that added up to her
All these lovers making compromise
Trying to sacrifice for love
Hoping things will only get better and better
But they don't
They're only poised to see them fall
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
All the lessons I've learned
All the money I've burned
She emanates light
Hits I realize
What I do not deserve I do not deny
