I spent three years learning how to talk
The next thirty learning not to
Two years learning how to walk
About the same for a motorcycle
Eight years living in a powder keg
But only a moment to light a match
But then I found you and you found me too
And now I just don't have to
I walked five miles up a hill through a foot of snow
To make a phone call home on your birthday
I swam eight miles fighting off a hammerhead shark
To get your present there by Thursday
Climb a thousand foot hill using only one hand
Just to tell the world of my convictions
But you already knew that our love grew
And now I just don't have to
I spent no time taking you for granted
And I guess that I never will now
A lot of time thinking about your love
Because it's giving me such a thrill now
Sunday morning I'm thanking the Lord for you
With a quick nod to the devil
I was so blue, just fighting for you
And now I just don't have to
Uhuh, I just don't have to
I said now I just don't have to
I just don't... Have to
