I lost all faith in reason

When no reason took a love from me

So I'll ask you my friend

If the stories were pretend

You say "I love you and I always will"



You invented a brand new plan for the seasons

How to turn those leaves of fall green

But death you know it comes and goes,

Ain't a friend or a foe

Just as long as you know

I love you and I always will



But when you leave, I lose control

And I hate to have to even lose control

When you leave I lose control

And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control

It's alright Ma



Christmas eve in the back of a church with a demon

He turns and says to me

"All is well you never fell, 

Don't kiss and tell, I swear to hell

I love you and I always will"



But when you leave, I lose control

And I hate to have to even lose control

When you leave I lose control

And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control

It's alright Ma



In a thousand years from now when they find Jesus

In a monument of Elvis Presley

I'll ask in the end 

If the stories were pretend you say,

"I love you and I always will"



But when you leave, I lose control

And I hate to have to even lose control

When you leave I lose control

And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control

It's alright Ma



But when you leave, I lose control

And I hate to have to even lose control

When you leave I lose control

And I'd hate to have to leave and lose control

It's alright Ma
