No anecdote was ever wrote
That coulda cured her worried mind
It's hard to believe that a soul has received
A pain of a familiar kind
But I think that it could get better
And I think that we've seen the worst
And if it takes a couple drinks to get the devil off your sleeve
Well honey, god knows you won't be the first
Baby don't cry
Don't hang your head for me
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of getting by
Baby don't cry
Don't hang your head for me
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of getting by
Don't forget to miss me, he said
What the hell's going on
I knew this day might be some day
Baby I'm not ready put your white flag down
Cause I think that this could get better
And I think that we'll be just fine
But if someone's gotta call it
Baby, hand me the bottle
It's been bad for a long, long time
Baby don't cry
Don't hang your head for me
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of getting by [x2]
