A Chorus of Your Own Lyrics by JD Souther

If the World Was You

2008

[Verse 1]
Why plant seeds if you don't like rain?
Why fall in love if you can't stand the pain?
Call somebody else, baby, the next time you feel lonely and vain
[Chorus 1]
You know I love you but it's in my way
So I gotta be careful of the things I say
Or you might get a chorus of your own someday
[Verse 2]
Somebody loves you but I don't know who that is
It used to be me before the third time through all this
Keep right on driving the next time you feel full of vinegar and piss
[Chorus 2]
Sure, I know you love me in your own strange way
Take it easy with the things you say
You might get a chorus of your own someday
Someday
[Verse 3]
What goes on when you're full of fеar?
What comes up when you're drowning in your own tеars?
Pray out loud, you scream till the words aren't clear
[Chorus 3]
Jesus loves you, it's made that way
Do be careful, though, of the things you say
Or you might get a chorus of your own someday
[Verse 4]
All I want from you is just to leave me alone
Pack up your convertible and go back home
I'd rather starve in here than have you drive out and throw a bone
[Chorus 4]
Love is strange, it's made that way
Still gotta be careful what you say
You might get a chorus of your own someday
