lyrics

I saw my daddy hit my momma when I was young
He'd fly off the handle every time that he got drunk
Then come right back with the tears there in his eyes
Begging for a chance to explain his darker side

He'd say love gets the better of us all sometimes
It'll give you sight, then turn around and make you blind
You can try to stay sane with all your might
But love gets the better of us all sometimes

I've got a dear old friend who's almost gone today
'Cause his one and only started wandering and went astray
But he still waits by the door, praying that she'll find her way
I'd try to talk to him out of it, but there's just one thing he'd say

Love gets the better of us all sometimes
It'll give you sight, then turn around and make you blind
You can try to stay sane with all your might
But love gets the better of us all sometimes

I'm no different even though I try and try
To leave it alone and let love pass me by
I pretend to be strong but deep down I understand
I can't fight this feeling more than anybody can

'Cause love gets the better of us all sometimes
It'll give you sight, then turn around and make you blind
You can try to stay sane with all your might
But love gets the better of us all sometimes
