Lyrics
don?t you know
ain?t no empty arms can hold you
ain?t no devil can control you
so just get on with the show
don?t you know
ain?t no mythic waters boiling
just your courageousness recoiling
from the ebb and the flow
don?t you know
I ain?t had a friend to speak of
that didn?t try to cut me when I?m low
you should know
don?t you know, baby
hey mama, my garden never grows
my deep heart never knows
cause your love does not show
hey mama, you never try to reach me
your wisdom will not teach me
everything you know
hey mama, it ain?t worth the price you pay
holding on,
afraid you?ll let it get away
hey, you should know
don?t you know, baby
don?t you know
reservations I?ll be making
on and on, now just a choice that I am taking
don?t you know
I?m just offering my hand
cause I hate to see you walking
down there where you stand
don?t you know
I want to kick over all your mountains
I want to drain all your fountains
get down to what it?s all about right now
don?t you know
you don?t know half of the story
so it goes,
it should never make you worry
hey, you should know
don?t you know baby?
