Something's gotta give
with the way I'm living
seems I'm getting down everyday
The more I strive
the less I'm alive
and it seems I'm getting further away
Oh, well all my superstitions
and my crazy suspicions,
of the people that I care about;
I've been doing more screaming
than I've been doing dreaming
and I think it's time I figured it out
Yeah, baby, I need a plan
Oh, to understand
that life ain't only supply and demand
Well, I've been going jogging
in the park after dark,
dragging 'round with me my ball and chain
It took summer skies
to make me realize
that I'm causing myself this pain
Well the woman that I'm loving
kept on pushing and shoving
getting further on by the day
And I can't understand
how the heart of this man
ever let it end up this way
Baby I need a plan
Oh, to understand
that life ain't only supply and demand
When the road is dark and lonesome, dear
You can find me here
Honey, you don't know where I am
You need a friend, yeah
Life ain't easy, in fact
I know it's sleazy
when you're the big man in town
Shaking religions
and making decisions
you never get to slow on down
Well your wife and your baby
you tell them "yeah, well maybe
I'll meet y'all at a weekend resort"
But your eye's on the prize
and you can't realize
that your little girl's life's so short
Brother, you need a plan
oh, to understand
that life ain't only supply and demand
Yeah, sister, you need a plan
oh, to understand
that life ain't only supply and demand
Yeah, you better figure it out now
Y'know you ain't coming back down, yeah
you better figure it out now
you know you ain't coming back down
