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, I told you it was a lie

Yeah when you break down brother, I 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) I want to be there

I want to, (I want to) I want to be someone ya can count on

I tried to, (I tried to) I tried to be a friend

I hope you, (I hope you)I hope you come around... in the end

And when you feel like you can't go out ...I 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

And when you break down brother, I come and pick you up

It's just a matter of time, it's just a labor of love

Just 'cause your back on your feet

again... don't mean they won't pull the rug

It's just a matter of time, it's just a labor of love

It's just a matter of time, it's just a labor of love
