It Don't Bring You Lyrics - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Well I know it ain't been roses lately 

Baby it's just been thorns 

And no matter what we do 

Nothing seems to change 

Love has always been my shelter 

For you it's been a storm 

But for a while I thought 

We'd almost beat the rain 

Now there's a hole here in my pocket 

Where all my dreams have gone 

Falling out like so many nickels and dimes 

And last of all you 

You'd always been my good luck charm 

I should've known that luck 

It was a waste of time

Cause it don't bring you love if you don't love 

And it don't bring you time if you ain't got time 

And it don't bring you strength baby if you ain't strong 

And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind 

Now there's a whole lot in life to be unsure of 

But there's one thing I can safely say I know 

That of all the things that finally desert us 

Pride is always the last thing to go 

But it don't bring you love if you don't love 

And it don't bring you time if you ain't got time 

And it don't bring you strength baby if you ain't strong 

And it don't bring you kindness if you ain't kind 

And now I wish you only roses without the thorns 

And I hope your dreams are always within reach 

And I wish you shelter baby from all your storms 

They scared you but they never seemed to teach

That I can't bring you love if you don't love 

And I can't bring you time if you ain't got time 

And I can't bring you strength baby if you ain't strong 

And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind 

And I can't bring you kindness if you ain't kind
