letra de love isn't everything - harvey schmidt

Loading...

[michael]
at one minute after two in the morning
six hours following my wife’s confinement
early on the day of january 12th
in room 22 of the new city hospital
a brand new person suddenly was
who never used to be!
he weighted six pounds and fourteen ounces
and we named him after me!
a son! a son! a son!

[agnes]
love isn’t everything
it cannot buy the pills
or pay the doctor bills
love cannot heat the house
or warm the baby’s formula when he starts crying!

love isn’t everything
it won’t provide a new supply of fresh dry diapers
love keeps you on the run
but when it’s said and done
love is what makes it sort of fun
sort of fun, sort of fun, sort of fun

[michael]
bicycle, tricycle, roller skates, clothes!

[agnes]
that’s how the money goes

[michael]
cowboy, indian, hobby horse, guns!

[agnes]
that’s where the money runs

(agnes is once again pregnant.)

[agnes]
at two minutes after four in the morning
five hours following my next confinement
early on the day of april 17th
in room 22 of the new city hospital
a brand new person suddenly was
who never used to be!
she weighted five pounds and thirteen ounces
and they say she looks like me!
a girl! a girl! a girl!

[michael]
love isn’t everything
it cannot hire a nurse
nor fill an empty purse
love cannot pay for milk
nor put the satin ruffles on her party dresses

love isn’t everything
it cannot sign the check for her piano lessons
love kicks you once or twice
but when you pay the price
love is what makes it sort of nice
sort of nice, sort of nice, sort of nice

[agnes]
baby doll, mama doll, safety pins, clothes!

[michael]
that’s how the money goes

[agnes]
middy-blouse, petticoat, buster brown shoes!

[michael]
gives you the money blues

[both]
love keeps you on the go
but when you’re feeling low

[agnes]
love is what keeps you hummin’

[michael]
while all the bills keep comin’

[both]
love is what makes it sort of fun!
sort of fun! sort of fun! sort of fun!
love makes it sort of fun!
