If I ever have a friend who knows my hell He'll tie a savior rope to the backyard well So if I change my mind when I get down I'll pull my body up before I drown And if I ever have a lover who finds my pain I will leave his ass in the fire and the rain Because a man who knows, still he stays That ain't no man who you'd want around If I ever have a child, and in her eyes I see the same kind of hurt that I had in mine I know the devil don't go once he came twice
