Chorus:
We're only doin' the best that we can
With what we've got
We try to give each other a hand
You've got to feed the body
Before you free the soul
When you're walkin'
Through the promised land.

Marie is lookin' for the one she can mother
Who will appreciate her while she's around
She's tried to hold on tight
Through all the wrong and the right
And now it seems that she's the talk of the town

They say she's toyin' with the girls' affections
They say she's breakin' all the tender hearts.
Well it's a rollin' stone that we're growin' on
And it's a struggle just to keep us apart.
(Chorus)

And John is feelin' like he wasn't invited
He's started treating himself like a guest
He's got the Goddess of Love on his easel for luck
He's got the devil of a grudge on his chest
He only wanted to be King Arthur
To drink a little from the Holy Grail
Now he's afraid to see a stranger in a restaurant
And all he thinks about is how he's failed
(Chorus)

And I've been looking around for a living
And living for a dream come true
Now I'm flat on my feet with my hand in the sheets
And the dream is everything I do
I've never heard the magic words "I love you"
Though I've been sayin' them with sll my heart
I wear it right on my sleeve and before I leave
I'll find the lover I've been living without
(Chorus)
