Supply And Demand

Well, something gotta give with the way I'm livin'

Seems I'm gettin' down everyday

The more I strive, the less I'm alive

And it seems I'm gettin' further away

But with all my superstitions and my crazy suspicions

Of the people that I care about

I been doin' most dreamin' and I been doin' dreamin'

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 goin' joggin' in the park after dark

Draggin' 'round with me my ball and chain

It took southern skies to make me realize

That I'm causin' myself this pain

With the woman that I'm lovin', yeah, by pushin' and shovin'

Gettin' it further wrong 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 gets dark and lonesome, dear

You can find me here

But honey, you don't know where I am

You need a friend

Yeah, mm

Life ain't easy, in fact, I know it's sleazy

When you're the big man in town

Shakin' religions and makin' decisions

You never get to slow on down

With your wife and your baby, you tell 'em

"Yeah, well maybe I'll meet y'all at a weekend resort"

But your eyes 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

Hey, you better figure it out now

You know you ain't comin' back down, yeah

You better figure it out now

You know you ain't comin' back down
