Her and I are in a native fire
Bleach blonde hair and dark green eyes
It was bright but it don't burn anymore
Nothing'll change come Christmas time
You can stay where you want at night
Just promise when love comes knocking, you'll answer the door
Easy, tiger, don't you cry
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
Don't blame your mother; 'least we tried
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
She meets less frequently
I've come to find out what that means
It was months, now a day would be house
They say, many summers far from a car
Damn your firstborn into the tar
Come mother's day, she'll be bringing him the flowers
Easy, tiger, don't you cry
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
A lovely mother left behind
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
Wish that I could tell you why
Es por eso que sientes que valen la pena el paso
Sólo tienes que seguir desde el otro lado
No es su área de experiencia, no
Un montón de analogías de peces
Dicen que tienes que comer con el tiempo, él habló
Easy, tiger, don't you cry
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
Another lover you'll come to find
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
Wish that I could tell you why
Oh, people gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
All the damn time
