My mama told me to rest my head
Of that fever season's budding blooming debt
My daddy said 'child stay on your feet
Cause that catching chill wears raw
And riddles mean'
But only father time could make me see

Love don't
Love don't
Love don't
Exist anymore
I forgot to tell you my dear

Old man river warned me to watch my line
And beware when you are casting of catching eyes
Kettle cries consoled by sinning hands
Well that tea is sweet but leads to embitterment
Oh validation is just around the bend, but

Love don't
Love don't
Love don't
Exist anymore
I forgot to tell you my dear
