Can't ya see that it ain't paying bills
Can't ya see that it ain't pretty flowers
Can't ya see that it ain't home renovations
It ain't things that make amends
All your words amount to nothing much
All your kisses and your hugs and all your touch
All mean nothing if your heart is twisted still
It ain't romance that makes amends
Don't waste time feeling sorry for yourself
Don't ask for love when who needs it is someone else
Don't become selfish and wrapped all in you
It ain't your needs that make amends
Now I could write a book of verses for this song
It would never end or at least go far to long
So I'll spare you cause I think you get the point
It ain't all this that makes amends
It's the mean that justifies the end
It's just loving well and being a good friend
