[Verse 1] I told you, I told you I'd be fine I told you, I told you not to worry, baby I told you, I told you I'd be alright I told you, I told you it was a lie [Chorus] And when you break down brother I'll come and pick you up It's just a matter of time It's just a labor of love [Verse 2] I want to, I want to be there I want to, I want to be someone you can count on I try to, I try to be a friend I hope you, I hope you come around in the end [Chorus] And when you feel like you can't go on I'll come and give you a shove It's just a matter of time It's just a labor of love We all need someone sometimes To pull us out when we're stuck It's just a matter of time It's just a labor of love [Chorus] And when you break down brother I'll come and pick you up It's just a matter of time it's just a labor of love [Outro] Just cause you're back on your feet again Don't mean they won't pull the rug It's just a matter of time It's just a labor of love It's just a matter of time It's just a labor of love
