I told you, I told you I’d be fine
I told you, I told you not to worry, baby
I told you, I told you I’d be alright
I told you, I told you it was a lie

And when you break down brother
I’ll come and pick you up
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a labor of love

I want to, I want to be there
I want to, I want to be someone you can count on
I try to, I try to be a friend
I hope you, I hope you come around in the end

And when you feel like you can’t go on
I’ll come and give you a shove
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a labor of love

We all need someone sometimes
To pull us out when we’re stuck
It’s just a matter of time
It’s just a labor of love
