All I Ask

ALL I ASK - Written by Carroll Bryant

Who would have thought of thinking 

Of getting out of this mess we made

From to which our daily lives come

And go too far too fast

It's like we're driving down a highway

In a car that needs to be towed 

We can't escape the facts of our love

You and I both know 

It's going nowhere

All I ask is for your help

This relationship is a scary thing

All I ask is for your hand

The reason for this life is to marry a man

Everybody always seems to be in a hurry

Patience is a word that starts every war

No need to wait around and there's no reason to worry

We take our chances and sometimes we lose

Sometimes we win

That is what our love is for

Who could have ever tried to conceive 

Too many people living in too many romances

You could have told me and I would have never believed 

Too many perverts performing too many dances

In the end I don't think we really care

We just move on right to the next one 

When we're not here then we're over there

Spending our nights totally all alone

All I ask is for your help

This relationship is a scary thing

All I ask is for your hand

The reason for this life is to marry a man

Everybody always seems to be in a hurry

Patience is a word that starts every war

No need to wait around and there's no reason to worry

We take our chances and sometimes we lose

Sometimes we win

That is what our love is for 

Yeah, sure we can get a shovel and start to dig

That'd be okay

We do what we had to do

And maybe so we are to blame

You and me with the bullet holes

Buried right up to our dirty souls

It's like we're driving down a highway

In a car that needs to be towed 

We can't escape the facts of our love

You and I both know 

It's going nowhere

All I ask is for your help

This relationship is a scary thing

All I ask is for your hand

The reason for this life is to marry a man

Everybody always seems to be in a hurry

Patience is a word that starts every war

No need to wait around and there's no reason to worry

We take our chances and sometimes we lose

Sometimes we win

That is what our love is for
