Lyrics
Falling in love (it doesn't just happen) Staying in love (it doesn't just happen) Falling in love (it doesn't just happen) Staying in love Yeah, if bein' a good man was easy, I'd still be me Cah I do - the hard way, I don't know who's who My girlfriend hates me, deep down, maybe I do too We used to jack - in the morning Cah most man didn't have cash when work's done This type of dinner have your jawline thinner Man gonna think you had work done See a man maintainin', see a man, wait, nah, see a man complainin' I give her one order, I don't need restrainin', none of this - came easy Man put my name on a wall, only right, who you - throw mud at it? Yeah, I got dirty money, but show me a pound or a dollar And it doesn't have blood on it (it doesn't just happen) Left us out in the dark, we saw things in the light where the end of the tunnel is Therapy couch like Tony Soprano, black Viano Hit an artery, stabbed in a major That's staccato, cash or card though? I got the country's sins on finance I know we all wanna make it to heaven, but it - (it doesn't just happen) Maybe you stopped putting in time Somewhere along the line And everything good And everything good Doesn't just happen Doesn't just happen Falling in love (it doesn't just happen) Staying in love (it doesn't just happen) Falling in love (it doesn't just happen) Staying in love (it doesn't just happen) Reaching above (it doesn't just happen) Sending it up (it doesn't just happen) And everything good And everything good Doesn't just happen Doesn't just happen
