[Intro]
All I know that works in the world is a relationship
{Yes, alright}
Okay, that, that's all that's gonna work work
It takes two people to have a relationship
{Yeah, but, but it, but the relation—}
If you don't have a dream, fake it
{But the relation— you can't fake a dream}
You got to fake it, because we don't have dreams these days
How the hell can you have a dream?
For what?
{Well—}
So, so everybody's, everybody's jivin', but let's jive on that level
{If I love you, I can't lie to you}
Of course you can liе to mе, and you will
If you love me and you going off with Maddiе someplacе, you're lying to me
'Cause what the hell do I care about the truth? I care if you're there
Like Billie Holiday say, "Hush now, don't explain"

[Chorus]
Even though it all changed, I'm gon' still sing your praises, girl
Your praises, girl, yeah (Yeah)
We were one in the same, now we're going through phases, yeah (Through phases)
Look at you now, sweeter than sugar for me, oh
And I'm wondering now if it's still the place to be, yeah, for me
Tell me, what's the difference now? I'm still the same man, you still the same girl you used to be
Did the world get to you? Girl, did you change plans? It started with you and me
Life went and got too real
[Verse 2]
Like the mattress on the floor
And the squares from the store
Ridin' scooter from the court
Alphabet city we had a view from the porch
Even back then we knew that this was on borrowed time
We were too driven, you were too fine
Everywhere we went they had two lines
And I know that you ain't waitin' for a good time
Oh girl I can't blame you though (I can't blame ya)
I see you all over town, now you're a stranger
Hey baby, you're mine 'cause I know how you feel
And [I'm apart?] even though it's surreal
I had to let go from–
Life went and got too real

[Chorus]
Even though it all changed, I'm gon' still sing your praises, girl
Your praises, girl, yeah (Woah)
We were one in the same, now we're going through phases, yeah (Through phases)
Look at you now, sweeter than sugar for me
And I'm wondering now if it's still the place to be, yeah
Tell me, what's the difference now? I'm still the same man, you still the same girl you used to be
Did the world get to you? Girl, did you change plans? It started with you and me
Life went and got too real
