With a hand full of rain
I come steppin' around your way
With a cold hearted stare
I can give well as I can take
I wanna tell ya, Mahalia
I won't fail ya, Mahalia
But this life's full of promises
We'd keep but we never make
With a mouthful of gold
I come raid your refrigerator
About a thousand miles ago
I gave you all that you could ever take
I wanna swear to ya, Mahalia
I won't fail ya, Mahalia
But this life's full of deals
We could keep but we never make
Mahalia
I'm right here
I wanna be near ya
I wanna live, I wanna live
In this life full of deals
We could keep but we always break
In a room full of stars
I can see you're the moon for me
I'll give you a bill for every nook
Get two eyes for every angle, yeah
I wanna tell ya, Mahalia
I won't fail ya, Mahalia
Well this life's full of promises
We'd keep but we never make
(Well this life's full of promises)
(We'd keep but we never make)
Yeah this life's full of deals
We could keep but we always break
(This life's full of deals)
(We could keep but we always break)
Oh yeah, this life's full of deals
We could keep but we never make
(Oh this life's full of deals)
(We could keep but we never make)
Yeah this life's full of promises
We'd keep but we always break
