If That Don't Get You

(アルバム： People Like Me - 2007)

Just turned five today, well, he don't know it
No parties no birthday cakes if anybody cares
They don't show it, he's out in the yard
Playing all alone 'cause mommas on the bottle
And his daddy's long gone

Love don't even know his name
Well, if that don't get you then nothing will
If that don't leave you with a cold chill
If that don't bring a tear right to your eye

Well, if that don't make you wanna grab a child
And love him like loves going out of style
Watch him light up when they know just how you feel
Oh, if that don't get you nothing will

He stands by the interstate, I grantee you've seen him
I pass him by nearly everyday
Because I don't work to support his drinking
But Sunday he was sitting on the very first row

With some money in a sack wearing worn out clothes
And he poured every penny into the offering plate
He said it ain't much but preacher I wanna change

And if that don't get ya nothing will
If that don't leave you with a cold chill
If that don't bring a tear right to your eye

Well, if that don't make you wanna roll up your sleeve
And help somebody up off their knees
Be right beside them when they finally climb that hill
Oh, if that don't get you nothing will

Now baby since we've been apart
I've been seeing life differently
I won't take nothing else for granted

Especially not you and me
So I've been praying for a second chance
Rushed to make things right

Because I can't live another day
Without you in my life

And if that don't get you then nothing will
If that don't leave you with cold chill
If that don't bring a tear straight to your eye

Girl, if that don't make you wanna run back home
Fall in these arms where you belong
And let love cut right through our hearts of steel

Oh, if that don't get ya
Girl, if love don't get ya
Oh, if that don't get ya
Nothing will, oh, nothing will
