GAIL'S GARDENS
there will always be people
who do not keep their word
there will always be liars
it is sometimes absurd
but there'll always be users
getting the best of me
for I will keep on giving
that is my destiny
I love the giving
I love my way
I love the living
from day to day
I love the loving
I feel in me
I love to show it
honest and free
so there will always be people
who take more than they give
they'll just have to deal with
the way they choose to live
and there'll always be someone
trying to get more from me
and I will keep on giving
for that's what sets me free
I love the giving
I love my way
I love the living
what can I say
I love the loving
I feel in me
when I am giving
all I can be
sometimes it gets hard
when I want to trust someone with all I've got
each turn of the card
could mean losing a lot
cause I give each my best shot
sometimes it gets harder
when I want to count on someone as a friend
so I've got to try harder
to never pretend
to never let it end
and to see through the pretenders
before I let such trust begin
for there will always be users
coming on to me
that's just the way it is
in reality
The Way It Is
(The Irony)
