Don't try and tell me
What you think I need
You won't make it better
And you can't fix it all for me
If everything were perfect
Could you be satisfied?
Can you paint a picture for me?
Show me what that looks like
And yeah, a white picket fence
And a piece of land sounds nice
But baby, that's not our life
And don't you forget that we got love
And we got time
So even though it's messy
I got you if you get me
And baby, will you be my girlfriend?
You won't always be
Just getting by
I know that you're weary
Cause baby, I am too
And all this * keeps coming
Like a hurricane
Blowing through
So go ahead and tell me
It'll be okay
Cause any day now, baby
Our love is gonna change
Yeah, a white picket fence
And a piece of land sounds nice
But baby, that's not our life
And don't you forget that we got love
And we got time
So even though it's messy
I got you if you get me
And baby, we won't always be
Just getting by
Just getting by
Just getting by
And baby, we won't always be
Just getting by


So baby, that's not our life
And yeah, a white picket fence
And a piece of land sounds nice
But baby, that's not our life
And don't you forget that we got love
And we got time
So even though it's messy
I got you if you get me
If you get me, baby, we won't always be just getting by, just getting by.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
