It's our anniversary, I'm late getting home from work and we
Had plans for something special, one hour ago - now baby
You gotta understand, this is how we pay our bills, and buy food to eat,
There's gonna be sometimes, we gotta sacrifice, just to make ends meet,
I'm tryin' to explain, that this is only temporary, soon someday
You'll be able to have anything your heart desires
Girl I'm tryin' to become something better than what you see
So I'm working day and night till my fingers start to bleed
When you met me, you told me you thought that I was born to sing
Now the music is a part of me and that's how it's got to be
And now my gift to you for all that you've been through
Is the chance to live a luxurious life
Baby if you stick with me I'm gonna show you how great it can be girl
And it doesn't mean that I don't feel the same as when I first met you
I'm tryin' to explain, that this is only temporary, soon someday
You'll be able to have anything your heart desires
Girl I'm tryin' to become something better than what you see
So I'm working day and night till my fingers start to bleed
When you met me, you told me you thought that I was born to sing
Now the music is a part of me and that's how it's got to be
Baby you've got to understand that I have things to do sometimes
You were there from the start, you've known pain & sacrifice
Hang in there girl it will get easier, and in the end I'll
Give you everything you never thought you'd had in your life
Girl I'm tryin' to become something better than what you see
So I'm working day and night till my fingers start to bleed
When you met me, you told me you thought that I was born to sing
Now the music is a part of me and that's how it's got to be
