My mama told me to rest my head
Of that fever season's budding blooming debt
My daddy said 'child stay on your feet

Cause that catching chill wears raw
And riddles mean'
But only father time could make me see


Love don't
Love don't

Love don't
Exist anymore
I forgot to tell you my dear


Old man river warned me to watch my line
And beware when you are casting of catching eyes

Kettle cries consoled by sinning hands
Well that tea is sweet but leads to embitterment
Oh validation is just around the bend, but


Love don't
Love don't

Love don't
Exist anymore
I forgot to tell you my dear
