If I had hope I’d call you back<\/p>\n
and calm you down the way you like<\/p>\n
while Croce sings you lullabies<\/p>\n
and Peter, Paul and Mary cry<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If I had hope I’d apologize<\/p>\n
and swear not to do it again<\/p>\n
while you tell me of my many sins<\/p>\n
and insist again to let you win<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If I had hope I’d pamper you<\/p>\n
and cook you all your favorite foods<\/p>\n
like strogonoff and chuckwagon beans<\/p>\n
while you, my dear, would pick my bones clean<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If I had hope, if I had hope<\/p>\n
I’d turn from you and all the hurt<\/p>\n
for what is love when I’m sorely spent<\/p>\n
nobody gives a damn where I went<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
