Once I had it allnAnd I held it in my handsnBut it slipped through my fingersnLike tiny grains of sandnScattered by the windnNever to return againnnI've been down I've been brokennI've been beaten I've been tornnCan't sleep with the light offnCan't sleep with it onnCan't feel much of nothingnI've been too numb from the scornnnAlmsgivernI don't need no charitynI don't want your moneynBut honey, give your love to mennMomma she done told younPapa told you toonThem boys with guitarsnCan't take care of younThey only run and they're recklessnThey live the way they want to.nnBut they've never felt freedomnNever wrapped it in their armsnNever been willing to risk everythingnTo follow what's in their heartsnBut honey I'll tell you right now I'm willing to risk it allnnAlmsgivernI don't need no charitynI don't want your moneynBut honey, give your love to menEverything has a beginningnAnd everything too must endnBut nothing's gone forevernIt just changes from what it's beennAnd I've changed from what I've beennSo honey let me back innnAlmsgivernIf what will be will benThen let me be for younAnd honey you can be for me
