Lyrics
I was talking to a friend the other day, mm, mm
And he went on to tell me about the changes
He'd been going through with his woman, yeah
And somehow I knew, I knew
Somehow I knew this wasn't good, when one will do
For my friend and his woman, ha
Oh, they've been going through a lot of changing
Tell me, what do you do?
This is what he asked me
When you don't make sense, do you turn and walk away? Ha
Oh, when you don't make sense
Do you try to pick up the pieces when it don't make sense?
Or should you leave them, leave them right where they are
When it don't make sense, ha
Oh, babe, right then I knew, ha
That I was gonna have to reach out and check some love, ha
'Cause he had fallen, ha
Oh, he had fallen a little too low
Can I ask you a question?
Have you ever tried to understand somebody, ha
That just couldn't be understood, ha-ha
I looked him dead in the eye
He said, man, I tried for a long time (tried for a long time), long time
And it just didn't do, no good, didn't do no good
But still you dig down and love them
When it don't make sense
Have you ever gave everything you had
When it don't make sense
Oh, when it don't make sense, baby, baby, ha
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, Lord, when y'all make sense
Listen girl, I done tried to listen, listen to everything she said
Don't make sense, y'all, ha
Two and two keep coming out to five, ha
It don't work like that, baby
Y'all should have seen me standing there with tears in his eyes
Oh, after ten, ten long years, Lord, it don't make sense
And he said, here's what I done
I decided to step out of the situation and get me together
He said, "Wendell, it hurt me to walk away from my baby"
See, when you love somebody
That it hurts you so deep on that inside
And no matter what they do, yeah, yeah
All of these damn changes
