It Doesn't Work Like That

Lovers that live far apart Need one another But only have their postcards I guess it doesn't work like that The pitcher of the baseball team Traded in his jersey Doesn't want to leave I guess it doesn't work like that I guess it doesn't work like that A collar around a dog's neck His only identity And he has no say in it I guess it doesn't work like that My sister is a hard worker She doesn't deserve to be behind the counter I guess it doesn't work like that I guess it doesn't work like that I've seen my mother in pain Begging for her mom to remember her name I guess it doesn't work like that It never really works like that
